110 miles for British Red Cross

We made it back!


I just spent two weeks hiking the Cape Wrath Trail with my friend Helen to raise money for British Red Cross. Our assault on the UK's toughest thru-hike was amazing - despite the midges and the crazy heat wave - and we had a fantastic time and met some great people along the trail.

I managed over 110 miles and 6km of ascent/descent in 2 weeks before multiple injuries meant I sadly had to pull out of the final stretch, and Helen managed an impressive 130 miles. Fear not though, we'll be back to finish the last section after I sail across the Atlantic next year!

Thank-you so much to everyone who sponsored us and helped us raise a whopping £1,325.31 (including GiftAid) so far for the British Red Cross.
