<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NEWS FLASH! - due to inclement weather in the Aberdeen area the BIG CHRISTMAS HIKE has been postponed. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Rich, James and Will would like to say that all donations have been really appreciated and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">WE WILL COMPLETE THE HIKE </span>at a later date - either a BIG NEW YEAR HIKE (in January) or a BIG SPRING HIKE (May). Thanks for your understanding - we'll keep you posted.</strong></span></p>
<p>On 21st December Richard, James and Will are going to be doing a <strong>BIG CHRISTMAS HIKE </strong>in Northeast Scotland. The gruelling feat will take us 22 miles over the Bennachie mountains in freezing Aberdeenshire (we're doing the Gordon Way - across and back). This is all for a good cause so please donate some pennies (or pounds) to my favourite charity: International Development Enterprises (IDE) UK. </p>
<p>IDE helps poor farming families in Africa and Asia to escape from poverty by doubling their income. IDE confronts the challenge of rural poverty by developing products and market systems that serve poor women and men enabling them to access and control water, increase production, create wealth, and improve the quality of life for their families. See <a href="http://www.ide-uk.org">www.ide-uk.org</a> for more details.</p>
<p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
