Whats On

The North-West Highlands Geopark, Scotland's first Geopark is part of the Sutherland Partnership.  Last summer , the Countryside Rangers and the British Geological Survey  organised a programme for this week's European Geopark Week.  Well, the good news is that they are planning to do the same in 2008!  Their programme is part of the range of Highland Council Ranger planned walks summer 2008, here in Sutherland and the North.  Click here to see the Ranger events programme.

And that's not all!  Sutherland Walkers Group is also planning for a busy summer.  You can join them on a trial basis, if you like.  To see their summer walks programme, click here.

And Forestry Commission (Scotland) are doing their bit too!  For a list of recreation events planned for the coming months (right through to December) click here.

Remember, if you fancy a spot of hill walking among Sutherland's beautiful mountains you can always take a look at one of Scotland's two would-be Munros (Munros are Scottish mountains of 3000 feet or more.)  Foinaven, in Sutherland's west, recently came close to being reassessed from 2999 feet to 3000, which would have enabled it to qualify for Munro status!  Never mind - it's still a cracking mountain to tackle!  Why not walk it yourself and come to a view (literally!)
