SMTC Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hello, I recently moved to Shetland and have been enjoying lots of amazing walking. Are there any local walking groups? I know there isn't a branch of the Ramblers, but does anyone know of an equivalent sort of thing? Thanks jr221 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedee Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I don't know of any but I reckon there would be interest if someone with the inclination was looking to start a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng7627 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The Shetland Field Studies Group used to do group walks. Not sure if they still do. The walks could be booked at the Tourist Office. Might be worth asking in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelsup Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Not a patch on Up Helly Aa for noise, but seems fun. Its not the noisy marches you have to watch out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yeah, but the big question is how many more threads is "Skerries" going to hijack? Itchyfeet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMTC Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks, I'll ask at the Tourist Office and maybe try Meetup.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Knows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 The public health department at NHS Shetland organise group walks you could contact them for details of events they hold in different areas. http://www.healthyshetland.com/health-topics/exercise/walking SMTC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
