Hillwalking with the Sunday Brunch Club
Frequently asked questions
When are where do you walk?
We walk at least once a month usually on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Our
Sunday walks usually last all day (including driving to the walk and drink/bite
to eat afterwards).
How can I find out more details about the walks?
We'll put details on our events pages the month before each walk. Just click on
the relevant month from our events page.
How long do walks normally last?
Walks typically last between 4 and 6 hours.
Do I need to be super fit?
The short answer is no! Some walks are easy, over flat or gently undulating
ground, while others involve steep ascents and are more strenuous. We'll give a
short description of each walk on the relevant month's
events page and you can decide what
suits you.
What are the walks like?
Like all Sunday Brunch Club activities, the focus is on enjoyment rather than
'bagging'. The walks are relaxed, friendly and very welcoming to new members. We
usually go to a pub or restaurant for a well-earned meal after a good day's
walking.
Do you organise transport?
We organise car-share from Edinburgh city centre. It's an informal
arrangement that has worked brilliantly. Everyone meets at The Dome and gets
into a car - quite simple! We can't guarantee a lift as it depends
on sufficient drivers. So far it's worked every time.
If you are not driving, please give a petrol contribution to your
driver, even if you know them
We do rely on people driving and don't want them to be out-of-pocket. If in
doubt, err on the side of genorosity. It
would be very difficult logistically, very time-consuming and expensive to
make the same journeys by public transport.
Remember to bring clean shoes and a carrier bag (for muddy boots) for the
journeys to and from the walk.
Cost per car
Y ou
contribute to the petrol cost per car at 22p per mile.
