The free event is suitable for adults, but not children, who are advised to bring waterproofs and walking boots. The meeting place is the Hillend Country Park lower car park, by the number four 4 bus stop, on Biggar Road. Call 0131-445 3383 for details.

If you are feeling slightly more energetic, why not consider joining in the weekly CTC Wednesday cycle ride that leaves the city at 10am?

The run is usually 50 to 60 miles and is designed for fairly fit cyclists. For details of next week's event, contact Peter Martin on 0131-229 8615.
