Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My best mate Jamie Lundy and I are trying to raise funds for Myeloma UK in memory of our beautiful friend that lost her battle to the disease last year. Nicola Cockx was a determined and courageous individual so we wanted to pick something that would challenge us to our core - The Scotland Coast to Coast. I can see her smiling now!!!
This is 105 miles of Trekking, Cycling and Kayaking from Nairn to the Isles of Glencoe.

The Scotland Coast to Coast is a true 2 day point-to-point journey across one of the best known mountain landscapes in the World. Steeped in history and legend, the Scottish Highlands heralds names such as Inverness, Loch Ness, Glencoe, Fort Augustus, Fort William and Ben Nevis. The route is as iconic as it sounds. Quite simply, it is a stunning journey set against the backdrop of the very best that Scotland has to offer.
That's where the niceties end.
It will be over 2 days, with an overnight stop at Fort Augustus, where we will pitch our tent to sleep in overnight. The next morning, we'll be setting out again on the route following the Great Glen south-west and onwards to the finish line at the Isles of Glencoe Hotel.
The stage lengths are as follows:
Trek/ Run – 7 miles (5 miles off-road)
Road Cycle – 48 miles
Kayak & Run – 2 miles max
Off-Road & Road Cycle -Off road 33km (20.5miles) On road- 21.8km (13.5 Miles)
