Darren's fundraiser for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice

Darren Bennett is raising money for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice

Isle of Skye Challenge · 12 June 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

This isn’t just a trek—it’s a three-day epic journey with purpose. Over 40 miles, you’ll conquer legendary landscapes: the towering Old Man of Storr, the sweeping Trotternish Ridge, the mystical Fairy Pools, and the rugged Cuillin foothills.

Story

I’m at it again and this year’s challenge is taking me back to the breathtaking and challenging Scottish highlands.

This time over to the Isle of Skye and a challenge and what’s apparently cited as one of the most difficult hikes and routes there is in this country.

This unparalleled scramble circuit offers a strenuous traverse over the Trotternish Ridge, one of Scotland's most dramatic geological features on the Isle of Skye.

Over 3 days covering some of the most iconic landscape this part of the world has to offer. The paths remain elevated throughout this route , connecting the iconic pinnacles of the Quiraing and The old man of Storr.

They say the challenging route demands extreme endurance, featuring significant ascents and terrain for experienced hikers which I definitely am not.

This routes renowned for its lack of established trails in many areas, testing both wayfinding skills and resilience as you navigate rough, boggy, and rocky terrain

I’ve discovered I’m definitely up for a challenge………

So I best start getting my training in!

Along the way though we will be treated to breathtaking views of the eastern coastline and the distant Highlands.

Given the distance, exposure to strong winds, and navigational challenges we will be once again guided by the phenomenal team at Endurotrek.

All this for Community Hospice, they’re helping to provide expert end-of-life care and emotional support for patients and families when it matters most.

A place that has taken such a big part of my heart for the care and services they provide for everyone in our community.

Your sponsorship helps ensure that no one has to face death or bereavement alone.

Every pound brings comfort, dignity, support and hope. Supporting free hospice care for everyone who needs it and helping people live as well as they can as long as they can.

Together we can #makemomentsmatter

Thank you for taking time to think about the individual, compassionate care everyone deserves.
