The John Rae Society has organised this special outdoor adventure aimed at bringing Rae's spirit of exploration to you.

The 'Rewilding walk and coastal forage: West Mainland coastal walk' event will see those taking part join Malcolm Handoll of Five Senses Rewilding for a special day at the Brough Of Birsay.

You'll walk from the Brough to Skara Brae to connect with nature, the Earth, Sun, wind and plants, recreating something of the endurance of Rae’s walking and giving time to immerse yourself in the environment that would have been familiar in his childhood.

The walk is about 21km and return travel will be provided to Brough of Birsay car park.

To book email projectmanager@johnraesociety.com or visit the John Rae Society website. Spaces are limited and booking is essential.
