North to South for Poppyscotland

Wendy Sylvester is raising money for poppyscotland

North to South for Poppyscotland · 23 October 2025

Since 1921 Poppyscotland has been supporting Scotland’s ex-Servicemen, women and their families. Whether a veteran is struggling with a life-changing battlefield injury, psychological trauma, financial hardship, homelessness or has turned to substance abuse as a way to cope, we are here to help.

Story

Thank youfor taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 23rd October 2025, I'll set off on my final fundraising walk for Poppyscotland.

Going North to South this time, my walk will start at Cape Wrath and finish at the Scottish Border, an estimated distance of 400 miles. I expect the walk to take around 5-6 weeks and I will be fully self-supported for the whole journey. I'll be accompanied by friends and family on different days: many of whom are also forces veteran's.

Key points of the route will include;

● Cape Wrath

● Durness

● Lairg

● Inverness

● The Great Glen Way

● The West Highland Way

● Glasgow

● Gretna Green

● Scottish Border

I am walking in memory of my Dad, Les Sylvester (Royal Navy) and my Grandad Macleod (Army) and all who have served, both animal and human.

If you would like me to dedicate a walk day to a relative please send me a few photos and a description of when they served and any other relevant/interesting information.

Lest we forget and with them always.
