WALK PROGRAMME 2014  - PROVISIONAL

April

An easy run to start the year.  All road so smooth and not very busy yet.  Head out to Torrin but turn off at the y junction and head to the beach.  There is grass that means we can get right down to the beach and there are some lovely big pebbles that are great for holding bin lids shut.  The view is lovely and we saw no-one once we left the Torrin road, can never remember the name of the beach but maybe John can put it in for me!

May

Head out to the cemetery either by path or short stretch of road, there is access to the old road at the first opening as the gates allow us access.  There is road up to the cemetery and the forestry track which goes round the coast.  Nice views from what I remember, was a few years ago, go as far a s you want or turn back at the cemetery - see what you feel like on the day.

June

Black lochs, old Sleat road.  It is all tarmac so smooth with a couple of small parts on the road but we had no problems last year.  We were stopped at the second set of gates but Donald Kennedy is working to solve the problem for us.  Great sense of freedom and lovely in the sunshine.

July

Attadale gardens.  We have been before but not in the summer when the gardens are in bloom.  Toilets and coffee etc available

August

A potter around Broadford on any paths we feel like - could be Corrie, Marble line or just around the pier and Waterloo road with a stop at the serpentarium for coffee and cake or ice cream.

September

Any path maintenance or what ever people fancy.  Glenbrittle may be suitable by then as work is scheduled for this year.

This is what I can put together but it needs places, ideas and dates moving around to suit us all.  I need input from you all also when in the month is better - weekends or weekdays please let me know by the end of March.

 There is enough money in the bank to pay the insurance with a bit left over.  Any fundraising ideas are also welcome.

Please get back to me so I know you have received this and want to continue to come out with us.  Membership runs from April and is the same as before £10 single and £15 couple.

We have fun when we go out and there is always cake and tea/coffee involved somewhere along the way, I know just being able to get out in the fresh air without too much effort and no walking is good for both my physical and mental well being so come and join me.
