Active Aboyne Outdoor Activities Festival 2012

Thursday 13th - Monday 24th September

All details and the booking form will be available in early May

Our 2012 programme includes a range of walks, talks and skills sessions which share three special themes.

• The UN has designated 2012 "The International Year of Sustainable Energy for All". Active Aboyne will focus on access to energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy in our local area. Two walks will feature this theme.

• This year is the anniversary of Captain Scott's fatal expedition to the South Pole. We pay homage to the Polar Explorers, with a wonderful talk by Stephen Venables: "Enchanted Island: In Skackleton's Steps across South Georgia"!

• 2012 is the 125th anniversary of the founding of the "Cairngorm Club". Our walks will visit sites made special by the Club such as the indicator the Club erected on the summit of Lochnagar. We have an evening slide show from the Club dating back to the nineteenth century with readings of mountain literature and Scots music. Finally, the Cairngorm Club hut, Muir of Inverey, will be our base for exploring the Cairngorms in a weekend special on 28th - 30th September.
