"Wanderwomen Lammermuir Hike and Swim"

East Lothian

13 February 2025

9am – 4pm

EVENT OVERVIEW

Open to female carers, this experience is an ideal opportunity for self-care and grounding, spending time with nature and with others to restore balance and find inner calm.

Draped over East Lothian like a patchwork blanket of browns, purples and greens, and forming a natural boundary between East Lothian and the Scottish Borders, the Lammermuir Hills offer adventure in a remote landscape of low tops carved up by deep burn gullies.

The day consists of a fairly demanding hike (around 15km with hilly terrain), an (optional) swim, hot drinks and snacks, silent meditation, nature connection and the sharing of stories.

Transport to and from St Margaret’s House will be provided.

ABOUT Still Caring

As part of its Still Caring programme, Care for Carers runs a free series of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers.

During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.

Occasionally an event is open to both the carer and the caredfor person to come together; these are always clearly indicated. Minibus transport is usually provided for events further afield. Please note that some events may have limited availability.

Further details on the Still Caring programme can be found here.
