The Pentland Walking Group is a long established component of the social life of Fairmilehead Parish Church. We welcome everyone interested in walking. Families and children are always welcome especially on picnic walks.

 - What Do We Do? -

Our walks fall into three broad groups.
Summer Walks. These cover the April to September period and generally take place on Tuesday evenings, leaving the church car park at 6.40pm.
Winter Walks. From October to March we switch to Sunday afternoons and leave the church car park at 1.40pm.
Picnic Walks. These are usually longer walks on Sunday afternoons or full-day walks on Saturdays or weekdays. Most leave the church car park but starting times vary.

We use members' cars to take walkers to the start point of each walk. Before leaving the church we try to fill the cars as far as possible so that the number of vehicles is kept to a minimum. There is always enough space for those without cars. Sometimes we use local buses. Distances vary but most of our walking lies within the three to six mile range.
