Photographs also by Alan Devlin and Dumfries and Galloway Tourist Board This publication has been, designed and funded by a partnership of: Supported by Solway Heritage through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme A Message from the Health Improvement Group Cycling can seriously improve your health & happiness. Enjoy! CYCLING IN STEWARTRY This booklet is one of a series of four covering the whole of Dumfries & Galloway that suggest a variety of cycle tours for visitors and locals of all abilities. Local cycling enthusiasts, using their knowledge of the quieter roads, cycle routes and byways, have researched the routes to provide an interesting and rewarding taste of the region. A note of distance, time, terrain and facilities is given at the start of each route. All start points offer parking, toilets, snack places and accommodation. Some routes include stretches off-tarmac and this is indicated at the start of the route. Parking discs are required for some car parks and these are available at Tourist Information Centres and in local shops. Stewartry is part of the old province of Galloway. In those centuries when the easiest way to travel any distance was by sea, it held a strategic place on the west coast, Irish and Isle of Man routes. This explains the many archaeological remains near the coast.

    Information for Volunteers Youth Work Essentials Training for Adult Volunteers Saturday 8Th May 2021 11-5Pm, the Smiddy, Balmacl

    Information for Volunteers Youth Work Essentials Training for Adult Volunteers Saturday 8th May 2021 11-5pm, The Smiddy, Balmaclellan. Lunch provided. We need to hear from you by the 4th May for signing up to the training day. If you can’t make the full day let us know as we can arrange separate sessions for you. We’re looking for adult volunteers (18+) in the Glenkens who would like to help with running of our pop-up youth spaces in the Glenkens between June- August 2021 as part of our youth spaces project and who may be interested in paid for youth work supporting the continuation of these youth spaces going forward in our villages. We are hoping to build on skills locally to be able to provide youth club provision for our young people- something the Community Action Plan has identified and that young people have told us they need locally. What is the time commitment? The time commitment for the project over the Summer could be as little as 2.5 hrs every two weeks or once a month if that’s what you can spare. Or up to 3 hrs a week. This will be in the evening or at weekends or occasionally during the day-time during school holidays. What will this volunteer work will look like? Supporting youth club sessions at New Galloway Town Hall – helping with activities, being there for a chat, setting up the space. Supporting outdoor sessions in the park during August with our trial of an outdoor pop-up youth club.
