Needing fresh air by the lungful? Why not join us on this "undulating" walk with great views that encircle the attractive North Third reservoir? The route climbs up to the top of the craggy escarpment of Lewis Hill before descending through Craigs Wood and Old Sauchie.

Health & Safety on walks ...
Hillwalking can pose a danger of personal injury, and all participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions, involvement and enjoyment. No participant is owed any formal duty of care by the group or by the walk leader.

Please make sure you have the appropriate level of fitness required for a Grade B- walk.

Participants are 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.

Looking forward to meeting you there, John
