The Group is organised and led by a member on the day and the details are circulated by email beforehand. Please inform the walk leader that you wish to go on the walk and provide the leader with contact details for track and trace. The walk locations range from the Pentlands, Tweed Valley and the Melrose area. Car-sharing is limited at present but if required a contribution to fuel costs should be made.The distances of the walks are between 5 - 8 miles and are usually in the mornings but occasionally a packed lunch is required.

Walk - Tinto Hill
It is said that members of the Carnethy Hill Running Club, which organises an annual hill race on Tinto - usually in November, have race winners that get to the top and back of Tinto in about half an hour. It took the fourteen brave souls that ventured on this walk just a little longer. A steepish hill to climb, but we were rewarded with 360 degree views at the top on a sunny, clear day.

Walk - Soonhope, Glenbield and Venlaw
Unfortunately the path that leads to Venlaw Castle Hotel from Shield Green was blocked. So, from the car park we headed over Priorsford Bridge and along to Whitestone Park. After crossing the main road at the new crossing, we walked through Hydro Gardens and on past Soonhope holiday cottages. At the junction at the top of the hill we turned to the left and went down hill and then up to Glenbield. At the top of the steps we turned left and headed back to Peebles via the Venlaw High Road.
