Any of you that know us will know how much we enjoy the great outdoors and especially climbing the mountains both home and abroad. Although we have summited many of the munros of Scotland over 700 times, we have still to summit 12 of the 282 munros. This is largely due to the remote location of some summits and the exposure and technical difficulties of others. We have taken the decision to attempt to complete them this year, including hiring a guide to take us up those requiring ropes on the Cuillin Ridge in Skye. To encourage us to attempt the scariest of these, including the Inaccessible Pinacle on Skye, we hope to raise a few pounds for the Scottish SPCA.

Ron and I volunteer 2 days a week for the SSPCA centre in Inverness and we are just in awe of the amazing dedication that they show in their care for those animals in need in Scotland. Many people don't realise that the SSPCA are a totally separate charity to the RSPCA who do not operate in Scotland.

If you can spare a few pounds it would be such great encouragement for us to attempt the more exposed and scary climbs and, of course, will help the Scottish SPCA to carry on with their valuable work caring for all those animals who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances.

Thank you
