Details
Please join us to hike the John Muir way from Linlithgow to south Queensferry.
This is a long hike approx. 24 km or 15 miles in distance, the trail has a mix of some really beautiful farm land and coastal views and is well worth the effort!
The hike will take approx. 7 hours, we will be stopping for two breaks on the way, so please bring food and something to drink!
Regarding weather, this is Scotland and anything can happen, so please dress accordingly.
Can we please meet outside Pret A Manger (EH1 1BB) in Waverley station at 09.40 or so, and we shall be taking the train at 10.00 to Linlithgow.
We should get to South Queensferry around 17.00 or so and bus 43 runs from South Queensferry to Edinburgh every 20 minutes.
Pleased turn up for the event on time. I cannot answer messages from people who are late and want locations and meeting points etc as I am leading the walk and don't have time to constantly look at my phone.
We do not employ qualified guides, leaders or first aiders on any of our events. The group works on the same basis of being a group of friends who go out walking together, who invite others to join them on this basis. Event organisers and event hosts assume no responsibility for anyone attending any group event. The Group, group organisers, event organisers and event hosts will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Group event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused.

Participants in Group events are reminded that outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) and the group does not provide these. Participants are responsible for assessing their own risk, the safety of themselves and their guests and the suitability of any equipment used. Any Medical Conditions that may affect the participants during the walk should be notified to the walk leader prior to the start of the walk.
While accepting no responsibility or liability, for walks and other outdoor events, the event host or walk leader may, at their discretion, not admit you to join the walk or other event if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.
Dogs are usually allowed on walks, but this is entirely at the discretion of the walk leader- please see the individual event details or contact the walk leader- dogs must be kept under close control at all times and on a lead where necessary or requested by the walk leader.
