Our hiking session to the Kilpatrick Braes this month was a great success, despite many illnesses flying around and leading to lots of unfortunate cancellations. The group bashed through tall bracken, up to Greenside reservoir, and after tucking into our picnic, enjoyed the walk from here onwards and upwards to The Slacks. One participant insisted on going barefoot, and before you knew it the whole group was striding barefoot along the soft grass, proving to be a perfect chance to deepen our connection with the environment around us!
