A great tale from a great trail raises ￡80k for charity

摘要

Over a three-day period from 9 to 11 April, 28 seasoned highways professionals stepped way outside their comfort zones to battle the elements along the Great Glen Canoe Trail across Scotland. The journey took them coast to coast, starting at Fort William and then paddling the 60 miles across to Inverness, navigating some huge stretches of water including the infamous Loch Ness. This charitable effort was made even more challenging by being attempted in just three days, against the usual five required to complete this epic journey, along with the fact that many of the party were first-time canoeists.
