2. On old Midsummer eve, Tuesday 23rd June 2-4pm, I will lead a walk from Newmachar Village Hall in a loop including Kingseat

how long is the walk, in distance

peppercat

The Balmedie walk is about 1.5 miles linear but then you need to walk back same distance either retracing steps or along beach so ~3 miles in total.

The Newmachar walk is a loop of about 4.5 or 5 miles but there are places where you can take a short cut back if you get tired or we run out of time.

Sounds great - would love to know more. Don't think I'll be able to make the Sun walk as it's the neeps camping jolly - but might be able to come along on the tue. Will let you know closer to the time if that's ok?

Thanks for letting us know - and if I haven't already said elsewhere

to neeps - it's good to have you around.

Will be good to see you if you can make it on the Tuesday, fine to just turn up on the day.
