Midmar Paths : Autumn & Winter 2024 ““ Hope is like a path in the countryside. Originally, there is nothing. But as people walk this way again and again, a path appears ” from Lu Xun You might need an extra layer or two but getting outside in the colder (and wetter) months is a great way to get your daily dose of fresh air and daylight, and often the views across the countryside are undisrupted whilst the trees are bare – making for fantastic scenes at sunrise and sunset! While you are out exploring this season, please try out the new paths we ’ ve been working on this year. The more people using these new routes will open them up and make it easier for us to continue maintenance as the pathways widen. THANK YOU

We have had lots of regular helpers and some new volunteers this year. A huge thank you to everyone who has come to the path meets with smiles and enthusiasm, whether you came for an hour or to every meet up - without volunteers none of the path work would have been achievable! You are all brilliant! NEW PATHS IN TILLYBIRLOCH WOODS (orange on the map)

In addition to the inner Tillybirloch woodland path, which was created at the start of this year, we have recently been working on a new path on the NE side
