Promoting Charity Walking Events
We are prepared to offer promotional support to registered charities

a website presence. This promotional support will run to pre-event
advertising, hyperlinking to your charities website and post walk news.
In specific cases Walking Support may be able to offer even greater
support in terms of planning or guiding. This for some charities would
be very important and we are able to sometimes offer special rates for
this type of work.
To obtain details of this service please

especially interested in supporting events on the Fife Coastal Path, Borders Abbeys Way and
the Sir Walter Scott Way.

Shorter Walks
This is a new section to the website. Especially in the late autumn and winter months the opportunities to get out for longer walks is restricted for many and to escape onto the hills for a few hours may be as good as it gets. We have itemised one such walk that we have recently undertaken and would recommend to others if they have a few hours to escape to the open.
This walk is based on one part of the Pentland Hills just on the outskirts of Edinburgh, but when you are there, you could be miles from urban life. To get the details of this walk long with directional details simply click here to download the Adobe file.
