Balloch Walk with Plant Based Society

Balloch Walk on the 28^th with the Plant Based Society

Our next walk will be an exciting collab with the Plant Based Society! Join us for a walk round Balloch followed by a shared picnic with the Plant Based Society:

We will be walking round Balloch country park, visiting the castle and the loch. It is a well-marked trail but can get muddy in sections with 274m of elevation gain and 10.5km/6.5m long. Waterproofs, layers and appropriate footwear are all required. Please come prepared to spend most of the day outside walking.

Please familiarise yourself with the route beforehand and decide whether this hike is for you.

We will be getting the 09:43 train from Glasgow Queens Street and will aim for the 15:38 train back, getting into Glasgow at 16:25.

For our collab, please bring a plant-based bake/snack to swap with people after the walk. Plant based eating promotes the preservation of wildlife areas due to reducing the land needed for agriculture so we can continue to enjoy these spaces and combat the climate crisis.

To secure your place please fill out the Google form linked in our bio which will become available at 6pm on Wednesday 25th November and remember to get you train tickets in advance. There will be 40 tickets available, and membership for either society is required for this event
