I am joining the boss, HIT Trustee and Chief Executive of Crerar Hotels, Chris Wayne Wills, who is undertaking a 450-mile fundraising cycle in aid of HIT Scotland. All the money raised will go towards providing empowering inspirational development to those studying or working in the hospitality industry in Scotland.

In his wisdom, he created the Crerar450 cycle trip which will take in the breathtaking route of all Crerar Hotels in their seven stunning locations across the country.

Don't be fooled, I am only joining 1 stage of his 6, which will do me nicely, thank you very much.

Me and my trusty road bike.

Your donation, however small, is appreciated.
