Story
Each year millions of people make journeys across water. For most of us this passage is safe; however, for many it is not. Every day, those fleeing persecution and conflict need to make perilous journeys to seek safety.
This year, as a way to stand with people who need to make dangerous journeys, Freedom from Torture North London Supporters Group, is hosting a fund raising challenge.
The Edinburgh Supporters Group joined in on Friday 27th August, a beautiful sunny afternoon. Six Edinburgh supporters walked
along the canal crossing bridges as we went. We started at Lochrin Basin and made 24 canal crossings, 22 over water and 2 under water, ending three and a half hours later at the bypass by Calder Road. Some crossings were straightforward to access from the tow path; others involved detours and exploration. Only a railway bridge defeated us!
