Enjoy the benefits of walking and meet other carers while being out in nature. This new group will meet monthly at Dalkeith Country Park.

No need to attend every month, book separately each month. The walk will start promptly at 10:30am. The walking route will last just over 1 hour (around 9,000 steps) and although the route will be generally flat, there may be uneven ground, small gradients, muddy ground and stairs. Participants are expected to bring their own appropriate clothing and shoes, including waterproof clothing for wet days. Participants are responsible for assessing their own risk and the safety of themselves.
