Our Redhall walkers were delighted to finally walk from Colinton village to Colinton Dell, via Dell Road. This path had a landslip a few years ago and was closed, so we haven't ever walked this route. These walking routes provide such beauty and peace.

Our Tuesday Oxgangs walkers indulged in all things trees during our latest walk. We took our adventure through Redford Woods and into Dreghorn Woods beyond. The weather was perfect and there was an amazing sense of calmness amongst the woodlands.

Our Redhall walkers took a wander to see the pretty Dovecot at the top of the Craiglockhart Dell. Its star is now visible over the tree tops as the leaves have fallen from surrounding trees. It was a lovely walk and put us all in a positive mood.

Our latest Nordic walk took us up Corstorphine Hill where we explored the woodland trails and views from the top. Worth the Hill effort! Great exercise and great company.

Our Redford Woods volunteers have been busy planting more Guelder rose in our little native tree plantation to diversify the area for pollinating insects. We can't wait to see them growing and flowering next spring...
