Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am fundraising to give thanks to a wonderful local institution who looked after my dear Ilene during her last days in November 2020, the Ardgowan Hospice. We will never be able to repay the staff there for their gentle and compassionate help. They were/are amazing.

With my son Scott Hossack I will walk the 100 miles from Milngavie to Fort William in seven days.  While my pack will be heavy and my feet will be sore your support will lighten my load and encourage us on our way. My walk will start on May 18th 2022.

The itinerary is as follows:

1. Milngavie to Drymen - 12 miles

2. Drymen to Rowardennan - 15 miles

3. Rowardennan to Inverarnan (near the Drovers Inn) - 14 miles


4. Inverarnan to Tyndrum - 12 miles


5. Tyndrum to Kingshouse (Glencoe) - 19 miles 😧

6. Kingshouse to Kinlochleven - 9 miles


7. Kinlochleven to Fort William - 15 miles.

I arrive (all going well) in Fort William on the 24th May 2022 (hopefully). It would be nice to be cheered on at any point so DM me if you want to join in. Meantime please share this post (sharing is better than liking). As part of my preparation (other than kneeling in prayer) I'm going to walk the first leg Milngavie to Drymen on Wednesday this week. Thanks for all who have donated so far. It's brilliant to have your support.
