On the 6 - 7 June 2026, I am 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.

Most sensible people would see 54 miles in 24 hours and have a lie down, but not you. Proper impressive stuff — go on and show them what an old Yorkshire engine can still do.
