Edinburgh 7 Hills
Details
It's time for the Edinburgh 7 Hill challenge - a long but rewarding day covering the 7 hills of Edinburgh in the following order:
Carlton Hill
Castle Hill
Corstophine Hill
Craiglockhart Hill
Braid Hill
Blackford Hill
And finally Arthurs Seat
Meeting at the Holyrood Car park (free weekend parking), we will head off around the Edinburgh tackling each hill. It's a long day but the advantage of being in Edinburgh, we will take several stops at supermarkets/cafes to replenish.
We will be following a slightly modified route of the below map to reduce walking along roads.
Distance: Approx. 26km
Elevation: Approx. 850m
There will be many sections of the walk along roads, some busy. Ample notice will be given to allow walkers to get their dogs on leads.
Bear in mind, this is a challenging walk so please consider you and your dog's fitness. Due to being a long walk, the walk may be cancelled or postponed in the event of adverse weather.
The advantage of being based around Edinburgh, there are plenty of trams, busses and trains to take you back to the starting point if you are unable to complete the walk.
Walking can pose a danger of personal injury to both you and your dog, and all participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions, involvement and enjoyment.
Participants are also responsible for ensuring that their walking gear is suitable for the nature of the walk and the prevailing weather conditions (which participants are responsible for checking) and for bringing adequate food and water supplies.
