Walkhighlands is pleased to announce that it has become an official Bronze Corporate Member of the conservation charity, the John Muir Trust (JMT). As well as providing financial support, Walkhighlands will be supporting the activities of the Trust and helping with a membership drive later in the year. <\/p>\n
Before then, four Walkhighlands members and regular forum users will be attempting an epic Munro challenge this Saturday, trying to complete all 12 of the Mullardoch Munros in one day and raising money for the JMT as they go. <\/p>\n
Organiser Andrew Doggett said, “The mountains of Scotland I now regard as my back garden. And what a back garden…! Is there a finer one? Personally; I think not.”<\/p>\n
“The Munros somehow become a challenge; I\u2019m not exactly sure when or why; but nonetheless it is a challenge that has led me to have some spectacular adventures well off the beaten track; and above all create some everlasting memories…”<\/p>\n
“Somewhere along this Munro challenge Walk Highlands came to be a resource \/ community that has given me so much; routes; others experiences in the hills; fun; laughter; friendship; and a few beers and banter at the notorious meets!!”<\/p>\n
“On one of these walks; I can\u2019t remember which; I came to think about giving something back. The wilderness has always been close to my heart; keeping it wild; leaving it as much as is possible untouched by mankind; footprints aside. So I came to decide upon the John Muir Trust; to give something back for the many hours of fulfilment I\u2019ve taken from the mountains of Scotland.”<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not sure where I first heard about the Mullardoch Round. It is an absolute monster of a walk encompassing 12 Munros over 56 km with some 5,000 metres of ascent through the wilderness of the unspoilt highlands to the west of Inverness\u2026”<\/p>\n
“So, weather permitting this weekend; four of us will be taking on the Mullardoch; attempting to complete the walk in a day; and in aid of the John Muir Trust\u2026 If you; like me; want to give something back to the hills then you can do so on the link below\u2026 Thank you in advance for any contributions to our wilderness.”<\/p>\n
