If you wish to contact the organisers with a query you can also use the contact form as it is much shorter!  An alternative shorter Word™ based booking form that can be posted to us is downloadable from this link.

 

All the walks are subject to amendment and alteration depending on weather or other conditions outwith the organisers control.  The durations have been based on Naismith's rule (at 4km/h) and rounded up but may vary at the time of walking.  Start times are at the Royal Hotel, Wellmeadow,  Blairgowrie.  Finish times are an approximate return to Blairgowrie and are a guide only.

If booking spaces for more than one person please put their names in the comments box.  Would you also please insert the details of anyone you would like to be notified in the event of any emergency.  This is for your safety in the highly unlikely event that the organisers may need to contact someone on your behalf.
