As it's getting near the end of the season when the busses run to Ettrick Bay, this week's walk will be the Ettrick Bay to St. Ninian's Bay circuar, led by JimC (mob 07502475922) It's a  7-8 mi moderate walk taking 4-5 hr over rough coastal and hill paths, starting and finishing at Ettrick Bay cafe. You will need walking boots, gaiters and walking poles, a shower jacket, plus a packed lunch and something to drink. The bus out is the 490 north from Guilford Square at 0945. There are regular busses back each hour.

Walkers are advised to take walking pole(s) and gaiters, personal First Aid kit, insect repellent, a drink, face covering for cafes and public transport. Please note that you need to register for the walk before-hand by texting name, phone number and membership number (if a member) to the Bute Ramblers phone (07516373584) as the Ramblers regulations on covid-avoidance still hold. 

Walk leaders, please remember to complete a risk assessment for your walk (available here as a pdf ). If you complete an electronic copy, you can email the the completed form to Bute Ramblers (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Paper copies can be obtained from Wendy, and the completed form returned to her. We are required by the Ramblers to keep risk assessments on file for a year.
