Blairgowrie and District Next Steps

 

Blairgowrie and East Perthshire Next Steps Walking Group

for all those binge-walkers!

There will be a long-weekend walking festival held over 3rd and 4th October.  For details please visit www.walkingfestival.org

We are planning a 3 day Ben Nevis trip, please see Nick on any of the walks.

BaDNS provides a range of weekday walking opportunities supervised by fully qualified walk leaders and first aiders.  They range from easy low level starter walks up to very serious extended and remote hill walking.  They are designed to allow people to develop and progress at their own pace reaching whatever standards they set for themselves.  The range  evolved from the easy and short single walk Stride for Life programme started in 2004.  As people gained confidence and fitness many found that they needed more challenges.  This grew so successful that a full range of walks spread over different days had to be developed.  After an initial introduction (on a few Wednesday walks) all participants are welcome (bus seats permitting and subject to the subscription) to take part in whatever walks they are capable of doing.
