We are pleased to announce that the programme for 2012 has been completed and is shown on the Schedule page.  Click on the walk names for details.

 

There are seven new walks, from easy to extremely strenuous, ranging from easy and level walks through interesting countryside to demanding multi-Munro days.  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.  Each walk is led by an experienced and qualified guide supported by an assistant.  Our groups are small which means there is less hanging around waiting to catch up and there is therefore a more personal touch from the leaders.  Whether you fancy a gentle stroll or a serious challenge we have something for you.

 

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 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 oversee, manage  plan and run the festival.
