Walk 1-2 - Millfore
Friday 6th May 2022

This route across Millfore explores the Minnigaff Hills – an often overlooked area when visiting Galloway, which is unfortunate as they offer a different experience where wilderness and solitude are key features.

Walk 2-3 - The Drover's Road
Saturday 7th May 2022

This route follows in the footsteps of our ancestors who took their animals annually to the market in Ayr, so is an area rich in history.

Walk 3-1 - Mochrum Fell and Barwhillanty
Sunday 8th May 2022

This route explores an area completely new for WalkFest and provides an exciting linear route encompassing a variety of different landscapes including open fields, lochside, standing and clear-felled forest and open moorland.

Walk 3-4 - The Merrick
Sunday 8th May 2022

No Walkfest would be complete without at least one ascent of the highest top in the South of Scotland, the Merrick. This route has the Merrick as the only summit, and from its location, the panoramic views are unsurpassed.

Walk 5-1 - Striding over Benbrack
Tuesday 10th May 2022

This strenuous route takes us to some of the wildest and highest countryside featured along the route of the Southern Upland Way. The Striding Arch, a sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy on the summit of Benbrack is a highlight, and indeed the high point of this walk.

Walk 6-1 - Cairnsmore of Carsphairn
Wednesday 11th May 2022

This route explores the highest of the Galloway Cairnsmores, and a Corbett to boot, Cairnsmore of Carsphairn.

Walk 7-2 - Cairnsmore of Fleet
Thursday 12th May 2022

**SORRY THIS WALK IS NOW FULLY BOOKED** Our route up Cairnsmore of Fleet this year avoids the well known tourist path in favour of a more challenging ascent and a steep descent to finish at Talnotry.
