After a brief comfort stop at the Abington services on the M74 the coach travelled via Biggar to drop off 27 high level hikers at Carlops to start their 13km trail taking in five summits, the highest being 573m Scaid Law.

Meanwhile, 26 low level hikers started their hike a couple of kilometres farther along the A702 at Nine Mile Burn and passed alongside Loganlee and Glencorse reservoirs, on their 14km undulating walk, meeting up with the others at the Flotterstone Inn, Penicuik for a social hour.

The weather could have been better but the members are used to the occasional ‘dreich’ day so were totally unfazed by a bit of rain and mist.

The club website normally shows you where the next walk will be but not this time – the next outing is a mystery walk with a meal to finish and is fully booked already.
