We have a full programme of walks, in five different grades ranging from leisurely to strenuous. There is at least one walk of each grade each month.
Not only do we hire our own coach once a month, but also the starts (and ends) of many of our other walks can be reached by public transport.
If you would like to go on one or more of our walks or other events please e-mail edin@lothian-borders-ramblers.org.uk identifying the event(s) and we'll e-mail you back with joining details.
