Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are a bunch of friends who have supported each other by hiking together before and during lockdown.  A few of us had a dream to complete a long distance trek, and wanted to walk the 96 miles on the West Highland Way.

Our dream was put on hold due to restrictions, but that didn't stop us planning, or training with our ultimate goal in sight.  We have completed other trails whilst grounded in our local area, such as the Rossendale Way, and are on with the Pendle Way too.

5 of our group of 6 are retired midwives and nurses, along with Ross, my husband.  We have seen suffering, as well as joy in our professional and personal lives.  Between us we will have around 200 years of service in the NHS!  As everyone, we have faced many challenges in life, and this has given us the determination to undertake the long distance trail of the West Highland Way, whilst at the same time raising much needed funds for Pendleside Hospice, which, like many charities, has been restricted in its ability to raise funds over the last year or so.

No doubt we will all have the craic along the way, sink a few whiskies at the end of the nine days, walking on average just over 10 miles each and every day.  It may not be an easy task as we aren't as young as we used to be, but we are a force to be reckoned with once we've set our mind to it! 

Please share our page and please donate if you can to help Pendleside Hospice.  We really appreciate it and will keep you entertained posting photographs of our adventure along the way.
