Thank you for visiting the Elvis to Presley fundraising page. Please dig "Way down" into your pockets and sponsor us online. As you can see, we are aiming to raise at least £5000 for Cancer Research.
We set off from Elvis Voe on April 20th 2006, aiming to arrive in Presley a month later on May 20th. A route has been plotted through Shetland, Orkney and the
Highlands that take in a number of localities with somewhat tenuous Elvis links including: The Lash which is either a headland on Orkney or the stretch of water next to it (as in “Viva Lash Vagueness”) Letterewe (“Love Letterewe Estate from my heart”)
Loch Maree (as in “Loch Maree is the name of her latest flame”) Kinlochewe (“I can’t help falling in Kinlochewe) Loch Monar (“That’s alright Monar”) Beinn Sgritheall aka Ben Sgriol (“He goes by the name of Ben Sgriol”) Glen ‘Kingie’ (near Glenfinnan) Ben Nevis (as in “It’s now or
Nevis ”) Corrour (As in “Don’t be Corrour-el”)
