About a decade ago I went to a walking festival in Angus for a few days and it was wonderful. Fun hikes, local guides, lots of interesting stories about the area. Unfortunately, I just went to look that one up to go again in 2024 and it looks like it’s either on hiatus since covid or just doesn’t run anymore.
I did some googling and found these local walking festivals. Does anyone know of any others running next year?

I had no idea these even existed!!
Thank you so much….although apologies for not being able to help with suggestions. Scuttling off to check these out!
Best post I’ve seen on this sub for a while. I’ll be checking out one of two of these in 2024. Thanks!
Its hard to get folk out a hike so I often go solo missions.
