Hello and welcome to my “Raise (for) the Roof” challenge swim to raise money for badly needed roof repairs (and associated refurb) at Fairmilehead Parish Church.

So what is the challenge?

Over the period of Lent (2^nd March till 14^th April) I am going to swim in the pool a distance of 15km, which is the equivalent distance between:

The door of Fairmilehead Parish Church – Flotterstone Inn – the edge of Glencorse Reservoir – up Capelaw Hill (for a little altitude training 😊 😊) – Swanston Village (home of Robert Louis
Stevenson) and back to the church door.

Phew.

As I say, this is a pool swim (I am not actually going to swim along the A702 however much you sponsor me!) and it won’t all be done at once – so I will keep you posted.

I’m already way past Hillend ski slope.

Thank you so much for your sponsorship and support – please do pass this link on to family and friends, especially if they have links with Fairmilehead, the Pentlands or Fairmilehead Parish Church; all support is very gratefully received!
