Newsletter November 2023

Welcome to our newsletter!

We would like to bring you up to date with our work, building and maintaining paths around Torphins.

Torphins Paths Group is a charitable organisation manned by volunteers.  Our objective is simply to improve walking opportunities in and around the village, as well as developing off road routes linking to surrounding communities.

We haev made  good progress  in the last 6 months on both  short walks around thevillage and and longer  routes  connecting surrounding comunities.

I hope you find this  of interest and can share our excitement at some of these projects.  We would be delighted to get your feedback which you can send to us by clicking  here.

Also, if you want to join our group, or even get involved in some of our volunteer activities, you can sign up, by clicking  here.

Not only is this an important route for walking and cycling, but it is another step in the overall plan to link from Torphins to Banchory.
