Dalkeith Country Park, Midlothian

Nearly the 2nd Saturday of the month again - and this coming weekend (13th), we're off to  Dalkeith Country Park, in Midlothian ...

... some details follow:

-  meet at  10am, Saturday 13th April
- at The Fountain (picture here - https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2548501174663776495) which is within 'Restoration Yard', which itself is within Dalkeith Country Park
- more detail on 'Restoration Yard' here -  https://www.dalkeithcountrypark.co.uk/restoration-yard/

- there is plenty of (free) parking nearby (within the Park); and various public transport options do exist - everything is detailed here:  https://www.dalkeithcountrypark.co.uk/plan-a-visit/find-us/

A rough outline of the walk follows::

- start point as above; at The Fountain
- the short-version of the park circulare-route is here:  https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lothian/dalkeith-park.shtml
- a slightly longer version is outlined on the second page of this PDF:  https://www.dalkeithcountrypark.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Dalkeith-Orientation-Map-2ppA4-AW-ONLINE.pdf
- you'll see that whatever route we choose, we're looking at something around 4-5miles maximum, which should take us around 2-3hours

There are also possible hosterly-visits, nearby in Dalkeith, for those who might want to go for a drink thereafter :-)
