Pictured below - In August 2019, walkers enjoyed a sunnny walk around Drumlanrig:
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.
