Winter Programme 2011/2012.

We have planned a walk for EVERY THIRD SUNDAY and have tried to include a good mixture of regular and shorter outings to encourage you to get out and keep fit.  Please remember we now have to say that you come on walks at your own responsibility.   As usual, please book for each walk by Thursday, the leader will then tell you the best meeting place, more details of the walk, the start time and of course, will wait for you on the day.  As weather could change the programme we will keep an easy walk in reserve near to Inverurie.  It would be useful to let the Secretary have your email address for such occasions (and for other unforeseen changes).
