721 sqn, Team Tidders

The Cateran Yomp 2025

Oh no...

First team training hike: 24km. Target pace 4km/h. 

First problem - I'm old and don't know what a kilometre is. Apparently that's about 15 miles. 

We completed in 4 hours 20, pace = roughly 5 km/h. So we hit our pace easily, all we have to do is keep that up over 3 times the distance and quadruple the elevation. Which leads us to problem 2:

I'm old and I needed a hell of a sit down after that 24 km. 87km?!! Oh no... what have I signed up for? Is it too late to back out?

Help?

On the 7 - 8 June 2025, We are taking on the Cateran Yomp. A 54-mile hike in 24 hours across rural Perthshire.

It’s going to be tough but it will raise vital funds for the Army Benevolent Fund, providing a lifetime of support to soldiers, veterans and their immediate families.

Please give generously, and thank you for all your support.
