We are two of the team leaders for Lochaber Mountain Rescue, a very busy team, based in the West Highlands of Scotland.

As team leaders we are very aware of the ongoing costs required, to keep the team running and operating effectively and efficiently. Purchasing and maintaining vehicles, upgrading communications equipment, and team training are just some of the upcoming priorities.

In order to help raise these much needed funds we are taking on a personal challenge, that has been formulated to show off the best of Lochaber as well as push us to our physical limits. This challenge is bigger than anything either of us have ever tried before, and our combined age of 105, is not on our side!

The Lochaber Round will take us roughly 330km, and 11,000m of ascent on foot, and by bike. The route will travel the length and breadth of Lochaber in a circular route, from Fort William, through Moidart to Knoydart, then across to Creag Meagaidh, before returning to Fort William via Corrour, the Grey Corries and Ben Nevis. We are attempting to complete this 3 days.

Whilst we will be completing this challenge as a pair, we will also be relying on the support of our team, and friends for logistics, and to help us survive!

We are grateful for anything you are able to donate to motivate our training, help us complete the challenge, and support the ongoing operation of Lochaber MRT.
