The Wanderers

St Abb's Head is a popular walk with dramatic coastal headland, ringed by cliffs and famed for its seabird colonies. This lovely walk takes you around the Mire Loch and up around the cliffs of the Head, a National Nature Reserve.

This circular walk provides stunning landscape with multiple seabird colonies all along. It's a bit hilly in parts, but the trail is well-maintained and a lighthouse that has been in service since 1862.

Toilets are available as we head down to the beach at the start of walk.

You'll need a car to get to St.Abbs or if you can offer a lift to other walkers with agreed contribution towards petrol please add to message board on this walk (lift from and time) as lets be kind to other's and be more sustainable. Buses are not frequent and I do not organise lifts.

Please also bring some lunch for a break along the way to enjoy the views(in photo) and the sea.

Will be walking around 3km per hour (Medium pace) with stops to take some photo's. Near the end there's a tea room/art gallery for a break before heading back to start point.

Cancelling within 24 hours before walk will now be shown as a
'No Show' so only rsvp if you are attending as unfair on those walkers who want to attend and planning last minute (if a waitlist) is unfair and on my time volunteering to see you safely do this walk. I reserve the right to remove people back onto a waitlist if you have a history of 'no shows' whilst at same time adding people if waitlisted who have a good attendance record.

• Well behaved dogs are welcome but please let me know as max is 3.

• No vaping or smoking on route.

• People have different walking speeds and abilities so as a group walk we will walk as such at around 3kph. This is not a race but at a continual nice pace with a social aspect to it.

• Walks A-Hard B-Medium C- Easy

• +1's now have to be members to rsvp and fully understand the walk they plan to attend.

Route
Beach and Tarmaced road and grassy paths alongside high cliffs with some short steep inclines. Some of the paths need care near the cliff edges. Walking gear and poles advised with suitable boots required. No jeans, runners.

Hope to see you there as we enjoy some spring sunshine.

Participants are responsible that they are fit and capable for attending this walk and that their walking gear is suitable for the nature of the walk and the prevailing weather conditions (which participants are responsible for checking). Appropriate footwear must also be worn as well as bringing adequate food and water supplies. +1's now have to be members to understand walk and rsvp individually.

More generally, hillwalking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death and all participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions, involvement and enjoyment.

RSVP'ing
Please only RSVP 'Yes' if you plan to attend this walk, as it is NOT a 'reserve opportunity' to cancel last minute and is unfair on walkers who want to attend and who may need to plan travel/lift arrangements.

Please keep your RSVP updated as soon as you know if you can't make it. If you have a history of non-attendance or cancelling at the last minute, don't bother putting yourself down for this walk.

As always, late cancellation or not showing up without giving notification is not considered acceptable etiquette and will show as a No Show x 3 will be removed from group.
