Strollers Walk No. 181, Monday 19 May 2014, Beecraigs Country Park
Date: Monday 19th May 2014
Start Time: 11:00
Duration: 2.5 hours
Distance: 4 miles
Start / Finish: At theCar Park at Beecraigs Visitor Centre, Beecraigs Country Park, EH49 6PL
On a lovely sunny day, a select few turned up for the walk at Beecraigs. Disappointing that so few managed out on the day. Perhaps the lack of public transport put some off. Anyway, nine of us enjoyed a lovely walk around Beecraigs, starting with a view of the fields of farmed deer and highland cattle. We then walked round the loch before heading through the woods towards Cockleroy. Everyone made it safely to the top and enjoyed the hazy views. On returning from Cockleroy, we had our picnic lunches at the tables in the well-equiped barbecue area. We then returned to the Visitor Centre Car Park to end our walk.
Many thanks to John for arranging this walk.
