Walking Support can supply guides for both private and charity group walks. The Guide will work on his own with smaller groups or he will work in a pair or with a nominated and trained member of the group for larger events. The guide we supply will be a qualfied First Aider and will carry a comprehensive first aid kit and GPS navigational aid. We will also provide two way communications from leader to back marker as well as carrying a mobile telephone to keep in touch with our office should any emergency arise.

Dependent on the numbers and the supporting group employed for the walk (if any) the guide may have extended radio support with a support vehicle.

The guide will not only offer the direction, pace, first aid and safety for the walk, he will also provide knowledge of the route and the interest and history along the Way.

Guided Walks
Started in 2004 and in response to walkers' request we are now offering a limited programme of guided walks open to any of the public to register and secure a place. The dates and routes that are currently on offer are detailed below, as is the price structure, this offering flexibility in terms of cost dependent on the accommodation type selected.

Clients' Comments
We believe our guiding has been much appreciated and we would be willing to provide references if required.

"You have guided us with wisdom, kindness and skill.

"Thank you for all your hard work, your complete devotion to the task in hand and your deep care and concern for each walker."

"Everybody loved the walk, appreciated Scotland and enjoyed having you guide us. Many have already said 'when do we go back?'!"

Guided Cycles
Walking Support can also provide supervised cycles or walks on the Forth/Clyde and Union Canals or any part of them. This would generally include a section past the Falkirk Millennium Wheel, the worlds largest canal lift. We will do this for any group of individuals or for a charity, first planning an event against the clients requirements and capabilities then guiding the event to ensure success and safety.
