Vegan Edinburgh

Join us for a trip to Pitlochry and a hike up Ben Vrackie, in a joint event organised by Vegan Glasgow and Vegan Edinburgh.

Pitlochry is a beautiful village on the edge of the Highlands, close to the Cairngorms National Park. It’s easy to reach by public transport, with direct trains from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as Ember and Megabus services from Edinburgh.

For anyone who wants to make a weekend of it, there are plenty of reasonably priced accommodation options in Pitlochry, including campsites, a hostel and a range of hotels. When we ran this event two years ago, some attendees stayed on both the Friday and Saturday nights.

DISCLAIMER
This is a long walk up a mountain with some steep sections so it's important to read the walk description below clearly, to bring enough food and the right clothes and to take responsibility for your own safety during the walk.

Vegan or vegan-curious, everyone is welcome. But we do politely request that everyone only has vegan food and drinks at our Meetups.

With a large group the pace will be quite slow so please bear this in mind when booking transport back.

Route Plan
The plan is to meet by Ben Vrackie Car Park at 10.00am.

For more information on the route - see Ben Vrackie, near Pitlochry (Walkhighlands)

Please try and keep your attendance status up to date to help the organisers.

What you'll need for the walk

• Lunch
• Plenty of snacks
• Warm clothes (it can get cold at the top so hat and gloves are advised)
• Sun cream (weather dependent)
• Good hiking shoes
• Appropriate legwear (no jeans please)

While it's a wee bit too far in advance to predict the weather, it may be worth taking a waterproof jacket.

Looking forward to seeing yous there!
