22nd – 27th April 2007

We raised £1055 for CRY in memory of our son Kevin (below) who we lost in August 2001. Kevin was only 20 years old when he collapsed and died whilst playing football.

The money was raised by walking the West Highland Way in Scotland.

This is a distance of 96 miles over 6 days – from Glasgow to Fort William, along the shores of Loch Lomond and through the West Highland area of Scotland taking in Glen Coe and finishing near the foot of Ben Nevis.

As well as Carol and myself, we were joined by a group of friends – these being Chris Huyton, Paul Dickens, Kate Horsley, Dave Simpson and Amanda Tasker.

Unfortunately, Carol and myself had to stop walking after 4 days and 64 miles, due to severe blistering of the feet.

Kate pulled out due to injury halfway through the fifth day, but I am pleased to say that the other 4 members of the group finished the walk.

Carol and myself are returning to Scotland in September to try the walk again – with new boots!!
