Inverurie Group Summer Programme

See more of the countryside with the Ramblers

To book on a walk or for more information contact: David Pickford 01464 831463

 We are short of leaders so as a compromise we have produced a programme providing a walk every three weeks during this summer.  Some of the outings are not finalised so if you wish to go on those call the leader or David Pickford for up to date details.

(ps. Winter walks were well attended, thank you and keep fit by coming out regularly).

Note - Our programme is a walk every third week - put the dates in your diary, remember to book by the Thursday before the walk.

... Do get out more  ...... and remember to book by Thursday ...
