BADENOCH & STRATHSPEY GROUP NEWS
2012 and onwards
Morag Kellaway & Elisabeth Longley initially took over the
running of the group in 2009 on a temporary basis after the
previous committee resigned. Since then things have moved on
and there is again a full committee running the group.
Volunteers to join the committee and/or to act as walk leaders
are still welcome. Please contact Elisabeth Longley on 01479
851735 if you can help.
The group is active in organising walks within the area and
along with the Inverness group, will be helping out at the
Scottish Ramblers Annual Gathering in Grantown-on-spey which
will be held between the 4th and 7th of
May 2012.
Walks & Walk Leaders
We are always on the look out for new ideas for walks and would
welcome volunteers to lead walks.
Members who find our own programme too limiting are reminded
that they are entitled to walk with any Ramblers Group. You can
find out what is on offer by following the links to the main
Ramblers website on the tabs above (Walk With Us).
Our walks are scheduled so that they do not clash with those of
the Strathspey Mountain Club. If you are interested in this
alternative, visit

Petrol Contribution
We have amended our petrol contribution suggestions due to the
higher cost of petrol & diesel. We now suggest £2 per passenger
for trips within the Badenoch & Strathspey area. For our
infrequent trips outside the Strath we suggest £3 per passenger.
This is not a rule, so drivers should not be offended if someone
forgets. On the other hand, drivers should not confuse
passengers by modestly refusing payment. (For insurance purposes
these contributions are donations & not a charge of any kind.)
Dog Owners and the Access Code
Do you know when your dog should be on a lead? Do you know what
a short lead is? Do you know what is meant by close control?
Find out by reading the excellent "WALKIES" leaflet
published by Scottish Natural Heritage (Phone 01738 4444177) or
find it on www.outdooraccess-scotland.com.
