Story

This summer the Go Ape Aberfoyle Gorillas Pete Cox and Pete Scullion will be going bananas for Teenage Cancer Trust as part of the Go Ape Big Banana Relay.


Aberfoyle sits in the heart of the Trossachs National Park and, inspired by their beautiful surroundings, the two Petes have decided to make their leg of the relay one to remember.


Getting to Crathes Castle from Glasgow should be a simple case of using the M8 and M9 motorways, followed by a swift blast up the A9. Pete and Pete will be reaching the next Go Ape site via Fort William, the Outdoor Capital of the UK.


'Little' Pete Scullion will start the journey from the Teenage Cancer Trust in Yorkhill, Glasgow. Pete will then cycle the 101 miles to Fort William via Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor and Glencoe.


The following morning, 'Big' Pete Cox will scale the UK's tallest peak, Ben Nevis. At the summit, the Banana will then pass to 'Little' Pete again, who will then ride his bike down to the foot of the Ben. After refuelling, 'Little' Pete will swap bikes and ride the 65 miles to Aviemore.


On the third day of our adventure, 'Big' Pete, will then tackle Scotland's second tallest peak, Ben Macdui, while making his way over the 16 miles of Cairngorm Plateau to Braemar. 


Last but not least, on the final day of our Scottish adventure, 'Little' Pete will cycle the final 45 miles on road to Crathes Castle for the handover at the Go Ape site there.


The week before the Big Banana Relay Pete Cox will be taking part in the Welsh 3000's challenge also raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. This is a Mountain marathon covering some 30miles and scaling the 15 highest peaks in Wales all over 3000ft. Pete hopes to do this in 12hours.
