NEWS
MARIAN FINDON
It is with great sadness that we have
to pass on the news of Marian’s death on 7th April 2023.
Marian and her husband Michael set up Highland
Disabled Ramblers in 2001. Through their commitment over many years
they supported and developed the group to what it is today. Michael
was a wheelchair user himself, and saw the need for people with
mobility problems to get out into the countryside for relaxation and
companionship. Sadly his health deteriorated and he passed away in
2008.
Marian continued as an active member of the group
until she developed Parkinson’s. When she could no longer manage to
cope by herself she moved to St.Olaf Care Home in Nairn where she
lived for over 5 years. She died there peacefully on 7th
April. (more details on our Facebook post)

Welcome
to our 2023 season of talks and rambles.
We look forward to seeing you during the season, enjoying the
outdoors in lively company.

RAMBLES for 2023.
