Group Leaders Doreen and Helen
This is a gentle walking group which meets in Pittencrieff Park, otherwise known as The Glen, Dunfermline, on *Thursdays from 11am to 1pm. This friendly group is a good way for new members and those not able for longer walks to meander around the park in the fresh air, stopping to admire the view and plants or to sit in the sunshine as often as required. You may even see the peacocks who have the freedom of the city and of course the essential coffee stop - either at the Peacock Room cafe in the Glen or Abbot House and folk are welcome to come and go at any point.
- NB. The 2nd Thursday of each month is the monthly meeting at St Bryce Centre in Kirkcaldy - therefore there will be no walk on the 2nd Thursday in the months Sep to Jun the following year.
The group runs year round but winter weather can interrupt, in which case the Events list will be updated and group members will be notified by either email or text.
Due to the parking availability in the Glen and the numerous pedestrian entrances, we will be meeting in the Garden (Italian Garden) which lies between the Peacock Room café and the public toilets (usually the first stop on our walk). This is a more central point to meet.
If you would like to join the group, please contact the group leaders for more information. They will then give you updates if there are any changes to the arrangements. Please provide your phone number (ideally mobile number) so they can keep in touch.
