The following walks are organised for 2012 (click on a walk for more information when available):

Saturday 24th September 2011 :: Loch Trool Circuit
Annan Walking Group walking to Loch Trool

The weather was excellent for a visit to the Galloway Forest. Previous rain meant some boggy parts underfoot, but on the day we had comfortable walking and good views of the surrounding hills - and the loch sparkled in the sunshine.
The circuit round the loch through different types of woodland brought us to the viewpoint of Bruce’s Stone, commemorating the battle in the glen in 1307.

Walk description: An easy walk on a disused railway, metal roads, and grass paths, may be a bit muddy in places. Extensive views over open RSPB owned land.

Annan Meeting Point: Murray St. car park 9.30am. Mini bus available for 16 passengers.

Travel: From J.44 Carlisle. Take the A689 signposted Hexham (second exit). Take the second exit from the roundabout at Brampton to follow the A69 for approx. 1 ½ miles. Turn right onto the A689 Alston road for approx. 5 ½ miles turn right at the sign for Tindale. Car park is on the left at the end of the road.
