2 SCOTS IN PEAK CONDITION FOR
2 SCOTS will soon be deploying on Operation Herrick to with 16 Air Assault Brigade. The Noshaq Challenge is intended to raise funds for the 2 SCOTS charity – whitehackle.com. It will involve four members of the Battalion climbing to the equivalent height of Mount Noshaq, Afghanistan’s highest peak, a distance of 7,492 meters of elevation; but instead of doing it in the Hindu Kush they will complete the challenge by climbing Arthur’s Seat – 41 times!THE CHALLENGE
On the morning of Friday 9 July, a base camp will be set up in Hollywood Park from which the intrepid team will set off carrying the equivalent of a soldier’s combat load in Afghanistan (about 60 bags of sugar). Over the course of the day the team will climb and descend to the top of Arthur’s Seat a gruelling 41 times. It is hoped the challenge will raise awareness of 2 SCOTS imminent deployment to as well as raising money to support the families of bereaved and injured Scottish Soldiers.
