This October, Paul will be taking on the full 96-mile West Highland Way in memory of his wife's dad Stuart "Dougie" Douglas who sadly passed away following a long battle with pancreatic cancer. and to raise money for Willow Burn Hospice.
Starting in Milngavie and finishing in Fort William, Paul will complete the route over seven days completely self supported and wild camping along the way.
There will be no hotels or comfortable beds at the end of each day
Everything needed for the journey will be carried from the start: tent, sleeping equipment, cooking gear, clothing and supplies.
Nights will be spent camping along the route, before packing everything back up and continuing the following morning.
Willow Burn Hospice provides invaluable care and support to people living with life limiting illnesses and to their families during some of the most difficult periods of their lives.
This felt like an appropriate way to do something meaningful in Dougie’s memory while raising money to support the hospice and the families who rely on it.
96 miles. Seven days. Everything carried on my back.
Any donation, large or small, would be hugely appreciated, and sharing the fundraising page would also make a real difference.
