24 Walkers - 1 Ben Nevis
Not content with walking from Hampden to Loch Lomond, a few of the dafter elements of the Tartan Army & friends who wanted to do something in the wilds of Scotland for charity, decided to walk from Glen Coe over the Devil's Staircase & down & up & down & up & ...well you get the picture, all the way to Ben Nevis, then up & down that too. 29 miles in all.
Chris and the guys who did the Ben Nevis Kiltwalk raised nearly £12,000. TACC in turn donated £5,500 to their other chosen children's charity - Hopscotch.
Kennet and Avon Canal KiltwalkTACC were excited to announce the first (of hopefully many) Kiltwalk outside of Scotland - Scot's doing their bit for disadvantaged children in their local area.
Jim Finlay and friends organised a 26 miles walk along the picturesque Kennet and Avon Canal from Pewsey in Wiltshire to Thatcham in Berkshire.
The local cause they supported was Naomi House, a hospice that provides respite care for life-limited children and their families.
