1pm – Family and buggy friendly walk, with Ramblers, in advance of the Festival start
Meetup point will be the monument in the center of the park. From here we’ll follow the path towards the botanic garden (John Hope entrance) where we will follow the path that crosses the garden and get out through the east gate door. Here we’ll head to the Rocheid path (water of leith walkway) that will take us to the Inverleith Pond, before we go back to where we started.
It’s all easy paths, buggy friendly, and the walk will be around 1 hour. We will have plenty of time to enjoy the botanics and the pond. In the end everybody is invited to stay and visit what the festival has to offer. There will be 3 road crossings and we’ll need to be careful with the younger children.*
Sign up here! Walk meets at 1pm – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/inverleith-festival-of-walking-and-cycling-2017-tickets-37239431141
