Updated due to injury whilst about 40 miles in....

ive started so ill finish !! And the views are incredible !!!!

Hi, im Matt and i love being outdoors, hiking, camping, swimming and any other adventure i can get on. Since being diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety after 19 years in the army ive found that the best thing for me is being out in the fresh air, in all weather conditions. Because of that, to me, the mountain rescue teams across the UK are a massively important service which sadly need funding.. so i figured, a fat guy walking almost 100 miles in scotland during winter might raise a few funds for them. NEWSAR is my local team, and even if i havent yet needed them, i, among many others would like them to be trained and kitted out should the day come when i need them to come and help me.

NEWSAR volunteers provide the Police, Ambulance Service and local communities of North East Wales with a highly competent search and rescue capability that can be deployed swiftly, safely and effectively 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
