Purdysburn Ravine
Details
Grade: Easy-Moderate, 4 miles approximately.
Note: For the evening walks, we'll meet at the carpark for Ravine NI (not Cairnshill Park and Ride)
Purdysburn Nature Reserve is a haven of natural flora and fauna through the heart of nature along the Purdysburn Ravine.
We'll walk through the maintained trails at the Ravine Project area and along the Purdysburn river. The terrain is mixed which will make for a good walk for us!
After the walk, we can have a cuppa and a chat at the picnic tables at the Ravine, feel free to bring a picnic supper if you wish. I'll bring the the magic basket for the teas and coffees.
Wear walking boots/shoes please. Bring a fleece/jacket for sitting at the picnic tables enjoying the sunset.
This walk is £1 for paid up members, £6 for guests and non-members.
Carsharing: You can post up you need a lift or would like to carshare. Just give a general idea of where you are coming from (not your home address!) so drivers in that area may be able to oblige. Please give the driver a contribution to cover fuel.

From Forestside Shopping Centre, continue out of town on the Saintfield Road and turn right for Knockbracken Healthcare Park. Once in Knockbracken Healthcare Park, you're following the road to the left around the perimeter of the park. Turn left at a sign for buildings 41-50, and follow this road until you get to the Ravine project. The car park is just after this on the right.
Public transport - the number 515/516/520 bus will take you there, also the 7a will bring you to Cairnshill Road.
See you there! As always you can SMS or phone me on 07583 042962 if you're lost! Maria
