Join a wee walk from Aviemore, discovering hidden gems and untold tales along the way. We'll spend up to 3 hours exploring the culture, ecology, folklore, history and Gaelic of the area. And of course, we'll rest along the way with freshly brewed wild teas!
Think Aviemore is a slightly odd 70s ski resort in a beautiful, wild and untouched place? Think again - it's so much more! Come and explore this special and important place on a gentle guided adventure over 2.5-3 hours. We'll wander the woods and trails finding ruins from centuries past, plants and trees and their folklore, creatures great and small, and plenty of hidden gems and untold stories along the way. We'll discover kings, spirits, fairy folk, witches and highwaymen - and of course it wouldn't be complete without resting with a cup of freshly-brewed foraged wild tea (with perhaps a Gaelic song or two).
Suitable for all ages.
Covid-19 update: This walk is outdoors and can be done safely while maintaining 2m distance. The max. group size is 6. There are a couple of gates and stiles, therefore I'd recommend bringing hand sanitiser. If there are any changes to the national situation and guidelines in Scotland, I will adapt accordingly and post any updates here.
Description of walk
The walk starts from Aviemore (location will be shared on booking), and is around 2 miles (3km) long. It goes along informal, narrow woodland footpaths which are uneven underfoot (tree roots, mud) and wider, well-surfaced trails. A reasonable level of fitness is required, though we do go slowly.
It is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs; however I can adapt the route of the walk to make it fully accessible. Please let me know in advance.
What to wear/bring
Please dress appropriately for the weather! In Scotland this usually means warm, waterproof clothing. The weather can change quickly, so please bring waterproofs with you just in case. We will stop frequently on the walk so make sure you will be warm enough. Remember to bring Smidge or another midge repellent during the summer, and please wear strong, sturdy shoes suitable for uneven paths (no flip-flops!)
Covid-19: Please bring hand sanitiser, and your own cup if you'd like to try the wild tea. Feel free to bring and wear a facemask if you feel more comfortable doing so.
What I will bring
I will bring wild tea, a bag of tricks, and a smile. I will also have a First Aid kit with me just in case!
Covid-19: I will also bring hand sanitiser and a facemask which I'm happy to wear.
