Walking

With the logistical preparation of the first Walking Festival in Huntly, Scotland, this April being near completion, individuals and walking groups are now invited to visit the official website containing the walk-packed weekend organised by the Huntly Development Trust (HDT), Deveron Arts and The Huntly And Area Tourism Action Group (HADTAG).

Starting on the 16 April with a wheelchair walk, the weekend will continue with a walkers ceilidh* on the 17th amongst other activities planned on the Saturday and will culminate in a mass sponsored walk on Sunday in aid of the Huntly Area Cancer Sup
