Transport

We run a 53 seater coach for all walks - bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis. Ramblers Association members get priority when booking place(s) on a walk, however prospective new members are very warmly welcomed. Places can be booked by "signing in" on the previous walk, via email as detailed below, or by 'phoning the leader. The bus picks up for all walks at Coatbridge Leisure Centre and Airdrie Town Hall. Smokers are requested to sit at the back of the bus. Social stops at the start and end of walks are at the leader's discretion. While the committee have tried to ensure that alternative walks finish as near the same time as possible, it is inevitable that differences will occur. Please be patient.

Walking

When walking with the club adequate footwear and clothing are essential. Be prepared for adverse weather conditions. Carry a packed lunch. Boots are essential on "A" and "B" grade walks and are recommended on "C" grade walks. The Ramblers Association cannot take responsibility for damage or loss incurred on a ramble or other club activity. Follow the Country Code : close gates, take litter home, face oncoming traffic etc. Please do not walk in front of the leader or leave a ramble without informing the leader. Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. All those interested in walking are welcome to join the group, but we would expect those taking part on a regular basis to join the Ramblers Association. Please inform the leader of any medical condition which you have which he / she should be aware of.

The O.S. column below indicates the Ordnance Survey Landranger map number. Distances are approximate and may vary.
