Edinburgh International's Social Group

Please join us for a lovely Sunday ramble through the Pentland hills from Flotterstone (EH26 0PP) to Bonaly park (EH13 0PB).
The walk is delightful with beautiful and rewarding views.
I would describe the walk as moderately challenging, and it can be demanding in certain sections.
Depending on the route we take it should be approx. 12km in distance and take between 4 to 5 hours. We should be finished between 6 and 7pm.
We shall be stopping for breaks on the hike, so please bring food and something to drink.
Regarding weather, this is Scotland and anything can happen, so please be prepared and dress accordingly. The ground can be wet and muddy, please wear sensible footwear.
Can we please meet by WH SMITH'S inside Edinburgh bus Station (EH1 3DQ) at approx. 13.00. We shall take bus 101 leaving at 13.20 for Dumfries. The journey is approximately 40 minutes and se should arrive in Flotterstone at 14.00.
Bus number 10 leaves every 30 minutes for Edinburgh from close to our finish destination at Bonaly Park.
If one is attending an event. Can you please turn up on time. We are not paid tour guides that gives location updates every ten minutes. We are too busy and not paid to give running updates on locations.
