    Story

    My friend Eddie Hunt and his son will be taking part in this years TGO Challenge which involves walking from one of a dozen or more start points on the west coast of Scotland to any point between Aberdeen and Montrose on the east coast. They are starting from Morar, just south of Mallaig on the 12 May 2017. total distance will be about 190 to 200 miles and they have 15 days in which to do it. They are hoping to do it in 13 days but much will depend upon the weather in the hills
    He has chosen to raise money for Hereford Veterans Support Group of which I am coordinator. Please support him in reaching the target which will be used to continue funding vital projects for the veterans.
    It will be called 'EDDIE AT THE VICTORY' quest.
    HVSG is a veteran and veterans' families drop in support group. Our aim speaks for itself - but we simplify it by using our tagline 'Veterans supporting Veterans'.
    How do we do this? The answer is simple - over a relaxed cuppa in a safe, relaxing environment, either sat amongst your peers, or on a one to one - the choice is yours. Everyone is an equal with no hierarchy or militarily speaking 'head shed' - just you and fellow veterans sharing experiences and helpful information with the same attitude and goal.
    There are two Royal British Legion trained caseworkers who can help and assist with information or more detailed needs. They understand the system and the military - one is a wife and mother of ex servicemen, and the other, an ex-serviceman.
    HVSG prides itself on its partnership work with all the military charities,and has an outstanding amount of support from local organisations. We believe in getting involved within the community but are also blessed to have a garden and on-site office at , Saxon Hall, Hereford.
    EDDIE HUNT'S incredible offer to raise money for our cause will help us continue our much needed ongoing support to Veterans & families in need of assistance and professional friendly advice and projects.
    THANK YOU

      Latest from Ed--Because of the weather we walked virtually non stop for 4 hours 20 minutes before finishing a shorter day just after 15:00. Stayed in a bunk house at Clova."

      Latest snippet from Ed "Saturday - Made it to Loch Callater and were offered a bed, which we accepted, together with excellent hospitality for which I made an appropriate donation. A Lively bunch of about 12 congregated and we had a good evening. Set off Sunday morning with clear skies and surprisingly clear head. Weather turned and by the time we got to the highest point (900 metres) on Jocks Road, it was raining with strong winds. Why Jock liked that path I know not, it was a sod to follow in places.

      Good stuff Chris. The EX Forces network in Hereford need to support each other. Humour often helps in pretty much all situations.
