A WALKING festival taking place in honour of a late council volunteer has been making great strides through the area.
East Ayrshire Council’s lifestyle development and community wellbeing team is hosting the Community Walking Festival in tribute to the late Jim Dunlop, who devoted many hours volunteering as a walk leader with the team.
Jim was a believer in getting people involved in physical activity regardless of age or ability.
The Walking Festival, which runs until August 28, kicked off at Dumfries House with a led walk exploring its extensive grounds. On Wednesday 24, there will be the Water Meetings walk at Kilmaurs, while on Thursday the team visits Dunlop for a walk around the village. The finale will take place on Saturday with a walk from Galston to Loudon Hill.
