Moderate hillwalking Day - Tinto

We are happy to announce another outdoor event, a lovely hike. Up the Fiona, Tinto.🥾 😊
📍We will meet up at Falkirks Grahamston (behind the station building at the taxi pick up) and be taking the organisers cars there (depending on numbers Clarissa, Javad and Steffy will be driving)
We ask for a cheeky GBP 3.00 towards your driver to help cover petrol costs.

With the annual Meetup fees fast approaching we are always happy to get some donations from people who like the work we are doing. If you wish to support us and want to donate some money please ask Clarissa, Javad or me for bank details at any time. we're also happy with cash donations! thank you all ♥️

Relatively east navigated hill route.

You are responsible for deciding if this event is suitable for you, coming adequately prepared and looking after yourself on the walk. If there's any questions about suitability, please contact the organiser.
The Falkirk Social Meetup Group recognises that hill walking, scrambling, and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.

What you’ll need:
hiking boots (due to colder weather no walking shoes accepted), waterprooves, change of shoes (may be needed in case shoes get wet), some liquid, some packed snacks for our blood sugar and energy 😉

Terrain & Walking Stats:
A grade 3 hillwalk on Walkhighlands, which I’d classify as moderate. With the weather conditions currently unclear you do need some hillwalking experience, although the route is fairly easy going, it still is a hill.
Terrain – Straightforward and very wide, clear path.
Distance: approx. 7 km
Time: 2-2.5 hours walking time
Ascent: 486m
Walked at a moderate pace as a group.

Last but not least – we make our decisions as a group, so if one person has to head back, we all do, please make sure that you do have the stamina and fitness to complete the whole walk!!!

RSVPs:
Yes – you intend to come and will turn up.
If you can’t make it, change your RSVP to NO to allow someone else to take your place.

We are looking forward to seeing you all 😊
Hopefully, there will be some new faces joining us as well as old acquaintances for a blast of exercise and great conversations. ⛰🥾
