I already enjoy long-distance walking, but now is the time to put it to the test with the Kiltwalk on 16 August 2026. If you'd like to chuck some money in the bucket, you can do it right now through this JustGiving page.

I'm reliably informed that donating this way is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are also safe: they won't be sold on and you won't receive any dodgy emails.

The target is set at £200, or £10 per mile, or just over half a penny per yard. However, I'm sure the Kiltwalk folks wouldn't turn up their noses at a higher amount. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity, which saves time and cuts costs.

Every penny is a step in the right direction.
