Caledonian Challenge

Postby jackiefulton » Sun Jun 22, 2008 8:11 pm

Would like to say a huge public thank you to Marna, Alix and Lindsay who were all mad enoughto say yes to taking up the Challenge.

It was a brilliant experience and you were just the best to share it with.

The RBS Challenge teams aim to complete 54 miles of the West Highland Way from Fort William to Ardlui, non stop in 24 hours - " equivalent of two full marathons and two ascents of Ben Nevis"

To all our sponsors and supporters we are pleased to say that we achieved the Silver award -42 miles

AND we could not have done it without our SUPPORT TEAM :D
you know who you are guys! Thanks, Who else would have made smash on request at 2.30am!

Also thanks to the marshalls who volunteered in support of Home-Start, special thanks to Marna's mum who did a wonderful double act as marshall and support person from Friday at midday until Sunday at 7am - and it turned out she was a physio - so we had an added bonus of not queuing for a massage at the checkpoints!

Thanks to all our sponsors - you have helped us raise funds for the Scottish Community Foundation (SCF) who fund projects across Scotland, including South Kintyre.

If any one would like to contribute to our spomsorship target - please just pm me

Likewise anyone wanting further information on SCF grants or on the challenge itself

We are going for gold in 2009 - so happy to hear from anyone out there lookig to take up the challenge
