Story

On Friday the 20th of May 16 brave lads & lassies will take on half the West Highland Way & Ben Lomond in a gruelling 3 day challenge and we would love your support to help us through the blood, sweat and tears. We are taking on this challenge in aid of River Kids, Tesco Bank's nominated charity, who meet the needs of West Lothian’s most disadvantaged children, enabling them to reach their full potential through play

Our expedition will begin in Crianlarich, a long and demanding 20.5 miles which will see us finishing day 1 in Rowardennan.

With stiff legs, sore feet and no doubt plenty of midge bites, we will start the morning of day 2 with a 3200ft climb up Ben Lomond and after completing one of Scotland’s most popular munros our day will have only just began. With blisters upon blisters and our packs on our backs we will face a 14 mile trek to Drymen. By the end of day two 42 miles and a munro will be in the bag (we hope!)

Our final leg of our West Highland Way Challenge takes us from Drymen to Milngavie- our shortest day and probably our hardest! With aching muscles, breaking backs & blistered feet we will complete our final day.

Any donation big or small to help us through this walk would be very much appreciated. We would love to raise as much money as possible for a fantastic local charity
