Today's walk is into Bridge of Allan and up Lovers' Loan. This is the path above the Bridge in the centre of town. The walk is fairly flat with a couple of short uphill stretches. The forecast is for light rain showers with light winds, so wet gear is advised. Ian

Today's walk is up into Hermitage wood - this is the woods immediately behind the campus and is named for the folly built into the cliffside. The walk has some lengthy uphill stretches and should last up to 2 hours. The forecast is for light rain and a moderate breeze, so wet gear is advised. Ian

Thanks go to Ian for leading on Saturday on the Mine wood and Darn way path walk, and to the walkers who came along on the day. The weather was warm, rain free thankfully. Some shots of the walk exploring darkest Bridge of Allan.

Today's walk is into Mine Wood and down the Darn Path. This is the path along the river from Dunblane to Bridge of Allan - once used by Roman soldiers.( Probably more than once actually !) The walk has some short uphill stretches and should last about 2 hours. The forecast is for light cloud and light winds with a possibility of a shower later on. Ian

Thank you Rhonda for leading on today's walk around Mine wood and the golf course, and to all who joined us and enjoyed some fine weather and views.

Saturday 20th June.

Today's walk intended to be Cocksburn Reservoir however, as we did this as a reserve walk quite recently we are switching to Bridge of Allan Golf Course and Mine Wood. This walk has some lengthy uphill stretches and should last about 2 hours. The forecast is for sunny intervals and a moderate breeze. Ian

Thanks to Angela for leading our walk to Cambuskenneth.Dry and warm for most of the walk. Thanks to all who joined us.

Saturday 13th June.
Starts at the MacRobert Arts Centre at 10:30 am.

Today's walk is down to Cambuskenneth via Ladysneuk Road. This is the pretty little village nestled in a meander of the River Forth - it used to be a ferry point over the Forth to Stirling and the site of the remains of Cambuskenneth Abbey. The Abbey was used as the Scottish parliament during Bruce's time . The walk is mostly flat and should last about 2 hours. The forecast is for light rain showers and a gentle breeze, so wet gear is advised.Ian
