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 7th Glen Affric Walking Festival.

Set amidst arguably the most beautiful Glen in Scotland, Outta Affric will see walkers journeying around, up and down a total of nine Munros and one Graham. For 2010 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 2010 our aspirations are set high. In the coming years we aim to make Outta Affric a carbon neutral event. We ask you to help us in this quest. Not only can you join us on one of the new Outta Affric green events, but you can also agree to contribute to our carbon neutral scheme.

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