Our next Challenge is July 2016

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I posted anything but I now have some news.
It seems a long time since our incredible coast to coast walk in July 2014 so its time for us to start planning our next challenge.
As you all know Jane's family has had awful luck with Cancer and since our walk my father is now undergoing treatment for prostate Cancer, meanwhile my close friend (feels like family) Len Mole is also being treated for the same illness and has been finding it tough going, So again we shall be raising funds for 'Cancer Research UK.' for more info on the charity see the seperate page.

So I come to the challenge:-
Jane, Kirsty and I will be walking the West Highland Way and weather permitting climbing Ben Nevis the highest mountain in the UK on the last week in July 2016. Yes I know that's midge season but we have to go in school holidays.
We walk from Milngavie in Glasgow to Fort William This will amount to
106 miles  not including detours to accomodation etc.
Total Ascent - 21811 feet
Total Descent - 22008feet
The highest point will obviously be Ben Nevis summit at 1344m (4,406ft) 

We hope you can spare a donation and the new link to Justgiving will be posted later.
We are not expecting anything like the amount we raised last time but would love to hit four figures thanks in advance for your support.
Regards
Steve, Jane and Kirsty.
