Welcome to the Forfar and District group. We are ideally situated for access to the beautiful Angus countryside and coast, as well as forays into surrounding areas such as Perthshire and Fife.
We are a small friendly group who enjoy getting together for fresh air, exercise and socialising. Our walks are usually between 4 - 8 miles in length, on varying terrains. We walk every fortnight on alternate Saturdays and Sunday and have introduced the occasional midweek stroll. When possible, we finish with a visit to a cafe.

We leave at 7.30 a.m. from East Greens Car Park to travel by minibus to Crieff, then on to the Wildlife Centre at Auchingarroch.
