Having the right kit can make the difference between a good day and an unbelievable day. Based in the Scottish Highlands we need to be prepared for all weathers in all seasons. Trends and clothing develop and change but there are essential items that we believe should make it into the suggested equipment list for our trips.

Welcome to Outta Affric - the 9th Glen Affric Walking Festival.

Set amidst arguably the most beautiful Glen in Scotland, Outta Affric will see walkers journeying around, up and down several Munros and Corbetts. For 2012 we aim to entice you on walks that will arm you with new skills, hopefully raising your awareness of this outstanding wild and mountainous environment.

During the festival, we re-visit some old friends on classic Affric walks, whilst adding new twists to established routes. We will even introduce you to new walks on Munros not yet visited as part of the Festival.

For 2012 our aspirations remain high. We aim to make Outta Affric as carbon neutral as possible. Please help us in this quest, by contributing to our carbon neutral scheme.

Why not join your guides during the evening for talks,kit sessions and welcome drinks. We look forward to welcoming you to Outta Affric, so see you in June.
