Summer Walks and Visits

Each summer the OEC organises a programme of walks and visits open to members. Each event is typically run twice. These prove popular and given that places are inevitably limited, it pays to book early. 

We welcome suggestions for future walks and visits. Please contact events@oldedinburghclub.org.uk.

If you are not a member, why not join the OEC?
