Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At 6 o'clock on Saturday morning Ali Gemmell and I will be slipping into the icy waters of Loch Tay. After a 1 mile swim we will attempt to run 15 miles over 7 munros before dropping back down to the Loch for a 7 mile canoe which will return us back to where we started; luckily there is then a 35 mile cycle ride to stop us from getting bored! Luckily it looks like heavy rain is forecast so it should be a fun day. Those of you that know me well will be aware of my swimming prowess so there is every chance that I may not start the run; at least I won't slow Gems down to much!

The Chelsea Pensioner's Appeal is an excellent cause that helps those who have given so much for our country. It will not be long before our generation of soldiers start filling their shoes and they will need our help. The link on the left will tell you more...
