Saturday's Hike

4 hours out in the Scottish Borders hills, walk out have lunch, walk back, with a bit of rain and some midgies thrown in for good measure.

Nobody lost, all a wee bit wet, some more than others.

By the way there was a bridge they could have used. The Officers paddled through on the way up but used the bridge on the way back.

We have organised a grade 2 expedition/hike/walk on Saturday 27th August. Last years first years in the Company Section can also come alo9ng if they are free to do so.

We will leave from the Church at 9 am, and should be back at around 6 pm depending upon traffic, amount of talking, and speed of walking.

The Guys will obviously need good sturdy footwear, sensible socks trousers, tee shirt perhaps a jumper or fleece.
I'm not saying walking boots, because they are costly and not everybody has them.
A ruck sack, with some wet weather clothing, and something to eat , packed lunch, juice, crisps, fruit, chocolate, whatever they want or eat, but only enough for 7 or 8 hours.

We are going down to Tweedsmuir (OS Sht 72 096244) a walk around Quarter hill and Muckle Knowe which is in woodland overlooking the Talla Reservoir.

Email me to let me know if you want to go.
