Pictured below - In September 2018, 16 walkers enjoyed a local walk along the east side of the river from Annan to Brydekirk and back down the west:
The walks, normally up to 6 miles duration, offer great variety and may be local or take us into Kirkcudbrightshire, Cumbria (Eden Valley, Lake District etc.) or throughout the length and breadth of Dumfriesshire.
We use a Annandale Community Transport Services (ACTS) minibus and car share. In addition we have an Away-Day each year, which takes us further afield and incorporates a post-walk meal to round off a good day out. Similarly a biennial Weekend-Away has now established itself with Whitby, Oban, Hawes, Whitby again, Kirriemuir and Melrose being the walk base for the 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 trips.
Walk Notices are always posted above. For further information about the Group please contact Roderick McCallum (Secretary):
