The provisional programme for 2012 is available on the link button at the top of the page and gives a taste of what is in store for next year.  These are still subject to modification and of course if there are any suggestions please let us know, and we'll see what we can do! 

To all our visitors, walking clients, leaders, drivers, accommodation providers, presentation and talk providers and facilitators, registration staff and organisers a heart felt thank you for making a success once again of our Festival.  We did try to do something about the weather but this is Scotland so as usual we had to put up with what was thrown at us.  Apart from one day it was quite reasonable and some very good long distance views were had.  We even saw deer that were evading the stalkers!  Congratulations to those who faced new challenges and overcame them.

All of our walks are linear which means we do not return to the start location so we include transport from Blairgowrie to the start and from the finish of each walk.

The festival is organised on a voluntary basis by 

Blairgowrie and District Next Steps, supported by

NSC Outdoor Adventures, and Strathmore and the Glens.

Accommodation in the area is available in the Royal Hotel or alternatively can be arranged through the Tourist Information Centre.  If you can't make this year's event then similar walks, training, and other opportunities are available throughout the year by visiting  Outdoor Adventures.

If you couldn't make this year's event or would like to go a little bit further, then similar walks, training, and other opportunities are available throughout the year by visiting  Outdoor Adventures.  If you live in the area then you can take part in our regular weekly walking group Blairgowrie and District Next Steps, who oversaw and managed the festival.
