The AGM dinner money will be collected in the new year.
Low level and easy from around 45 to 90mins: Meet at Blairgowrie Town Hall Wednesdays 09:15 for 09:30, and there is a walk fee of £4 per person, which pays for use of the Town Hall, bus and refreshments. From 2004 to 2007 these walks were run by Perth and Kinross Leisure as the Stride for Life programme.
Mid level and moderate: Meet at the Bus Station in Blairgowrie Thursdays to leave at 09:30am and there is a walk fee of £5 per person. 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 These walks are low to mid-level and do not entail any significant hill climbing, and are intended to be mainly on paths and tracks, and are graded Moderate. This however cannot be guaranteed as some of the more interesting walks involve covering short sections of rough moorland and bog, with some fence and wall climbing. Some minor hills will be visited. Please note that the priority for spaces on the minibus on Thursdays is for those who are progressing from Wednesdays or find the Tuesdays too difficult. If you do wish to take part in our walks, please come along on a Wednesday walk first.
Mid to High level and strenuous - anything goes: Meet at the Bus Station in Blairgowrie Tuesdays to leave at 09:30, the walk fee for the Strenuous walks is £5 per person and for Extreme is £8. Please note that some walks leave earlier! All the strenuous walks are at high-level and may entail significant hill climbing and crossing very rough and steep ground in all weathers and conditions. Routes will invariably be in 'complex' terrain. Named or listed hill 'bagging' may be undertaken as well as more challenging days out. Before trying one of the Strenuous or Very Strenuous walks, please come along on a Wednesday and Thursday walk first.
We recognise that not all of our walks suitable for everyone, which is why there is a range to choose from as shown on each of the schedules as above. Due to the some of the hazards and difficulties involved in the more adventurous terrain encountered on the more strenuous walks we ask that you first seek guidance from the Leaders as appropriate. Where there are anticipated difficulties or significant exertion involved we may recommend that some people do not take part on some walks, this will be on a walk by walk basis.
All the walks are subject to amendment and alteration depending on weather or other conditions outwith the organisers control. The durations have been based around Naismith's rule but may vary at the time of walking. Finish times are an approximate return to Blairgowrie, however this cannot always be guaranteed and depends on where the walk takes place, the rate at which participants walk, meal stops and so on.
