Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span>As you all know I am a walking enthusiast and, with that in mind, I have decided to take on the challenge of walking the West Highland Way. My plan is to complete the 96 mile hike in five days starting on the 4th of April and finishing up on Easter Sunday. The West Highland Way is a challenge that takes you from Milngavie, just outside Glasgow, to the foot of Ben Nevis in Fort William. The 96 mile hike takes you through some of Scotland most scenic landmarks such as Loch Lomond, the awe-inspiring Rannoch Moor, crossing the majestic hills to Loch Leven and even gives you a spectacular view of Glencoe. For more information on the West Highland Way and the challenge I have set myself then have a look at the link below:</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/west-highland-way.shtml"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;serif&amp;amp;quot;;">http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/west-highland-way.shtm</span></a></span><span> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>The charity I have chosen to raise money for is Ben &ndash; the motor and trade benevolent fund, which I already work closely with through my day-to-day job as Sales Manager on the magazine Scots Auto Scene. You will see the great work this charity does for members and relatives of the automotive trade on the right of this page and I think you will agree with me that this is a fantastic cause to support. </span></p> <p><span>You will also see I have set myself a target of at least &pound;1000 and I would love to achieve this amount, although if I beat it then that would be fantastic. Therefore if you are able to spare some cash for then your generosity would be greatly appreciated and my thanks go out to you all.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Here is a link to my blog with some thoughts on my walks for the build up to the WHW</span></p> <p><a href="http://bearswesthighlandway.blogspot.com/">http://bearswesthighlandway.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
