3rd Glen Affric Walking Festival
 

There are a number of Munro guided walks and a special 2 day walk lead by an FCS guide.
This festival is designed towards Munro Guided Walks and lower hill guided walks. Nearly all are day walks as we have found these to be more popular. However there are a limited number of walks for children but normally the youngest would be about 8.

How to get there:


Glen Affric

Scotland
OS Grid Reference: NH 284 284

How to get there: Glen Affric is 5 miles west of Cannich on the Glen Affric road, off the A831. There is an infrequent bus service from Inverness as far as Cannich.
