We are putting together our next winter 2019/20 programme, and we would like to get some suggestions in Scotland for walking trails/routes. If you have any suggestions, please contact our Walks Convenor, Ken Paton by email: kpaton52@btinternet.com .
Thank you for your suggestions in advance from the Monklands Ramblers committee.
