Fancy blowing off the cobwebs in style this festive period?
Then be Brrr-ave and head into Angus.
After a pandemic postponement, a trio of traditional fundraising favourites are back.
First up is the Boxing Day Plum Pudding Plod around Forfar Loch.
It’s a firm family favourite and always draws a colourful crowd of participants in fancy dress.
And then on January 1 the New Year’s Day Dooks at Carnoustie and Arbroath are both on the cards.
Organisers are keeping a close eye on coronavirus restrictions – but at the moment the Angus events are going ahead.
Here’s the details of how to take part.
And even if you’re not feeling like donning trainers or trunks, they’re always a great spectacle to see!
