We (Oli Marsh and Alex Purser) are two friends from near Sudbury in Suffolk who enjoy, amongst other outdoor things, canoeing. This October we intend to walk and canoe in aid of the RNLI.

 

The Plan:

Climb Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms and then hop in a canoe.

From Loch Insch paddle the Spey to where it meets the sea at Spey Bay.

Head West to Inverness along the coast.

Follow the Great Glen to Fort William.

Abandon the canoe and climb Ben Nevis.

It's mainly a canoeing trip but we thought the two highest mountains in Scotland at beginning and end would tie it up nicely.

The whole thing will be done in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). They turn out at all hours in all weathers to save imperilled sea-goers from drowning and do it all voluntarily. They always need money for equipment and are deserving of a few quid from each of us to keep the service going.
