2nd Saturday Strollers to resume :-)

Given all the restrictions on gatherings over recent months, the last '2nd Saturday Stroll' we had (with a decent sized Group) was back in August 2020!

We did have one planned the very next month, in September 2020, but had to cancel it when restrictions on 'numbers/households' where unexpectedly tightened across Scotland :-(

But - the wait is finally over, and with '8 people from 8 households' allowed to gather (outdoors, in Scottish Level 2), we're planning to resurrect the September 2020 walk for next Saturday 12th June 2021 :-)

Obviously --- if more than 8 folk turn up (which is possible) then we will split into 2 distinct groups. And if there are 2 groups, then they will stay completely separate, and we'll just leave the starting-point (see below) at least a clear 10-15minutes apart.

And today's photo above is of a lovely new 'urban nature' map of Edinburgh, which I was given as a present recently, and which we'll use for the walk - the rough details of which follow ...

------------

- meet at 10am, Saturday 12th June beside the main 'Kids Playground' in Harrison Park West
- see local map link here: https://goo.gl/maps/EfounRadJs2SXhK59
- if required; plenty of public transport options (buses) run nearby along Slateford Road

- the rough walking route will be: Shandon - Hutchison - Saughton Park - Murrayfield - Carrick Knowe - up, over and around Corstorphine Hill - turn back just before reaching Davidson Mains - then return on a very similar route to Shandon

- that should be around 8 miles, and given its fairly local we can easily shorten the route if conditions so require!
- should take us about 4-5 hours to complete (including lunch stop)

- we may well be able to access some refreshments at the Garden Bistro, in Saughton Park :-)
- but please do bring along some snacks/packed-lunch etc.

If you're interested in coming along, and need any further detail, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly!

... what could possibly go wrong??
