On the 8 - 9 June 2024, I am taking part in The Cateran Yomp. A 54-mile hike in 24 hours across rural Perthshire.
I’ve walked all my life through many counties and peaks in my Army career, the Pennine Way (268 miles) and the Lake Wake Walk (40 Miles), but they where back in the day in my 20’s and teens 😃. Now at 55 (56 for the Cateran), I thought its about time for another challenge and one that I can give something back…
It’s going to be tough but it will raise vital funds for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, the Army's National Charity, providing a lifetime of support to soldiers, veterans and their immediate families.
I’ll keep this page update as I go, so please give generously, and thank you for your support.
