Just finished my hike in the cairngorms to Devils point from the sugar bowl. Apart from a few aches and pains I have recovered back to my normal (ish) self.

Many of the Guy’s and Gal’s serving at the moment  come back in much the same condition but there will be a few who may not and who, coming from a society wrapped in cotton wool not find the understanding and support they need to recover.

Luckily they have the help of H4H and other such organisations who are equiped to help and deal with injuries, physical and mental which most of use would of never had to deal with. In order to do this they need funds just as much as your sympathy, so please give what ever you can.

Got my first donations the other day and now I’m off - cheers to the two families. The picture below show my progress along the walk in terms of donations.

At the moment I don’t hike as much as I used to, so am planning to do a hike a week in the cairngorms to help get ready for the long walk. This friday I’m gonna head towards loch einich from loch an eilein - never have been that way before and given the amount of snow still in the hills, the dog should be able to handle it OK and not sink knee deep into the snow as I did a few weeks ago by the lairig ghru.

Cheers for all donation and encouragement so far.

Hi all - apart from most things I do these days I have hiked in various places since my old army days - 20 years later and a new generation of my family is serving and during much more hectic times - for this reason and because of one particular Munro which has caused me trouble’s during the many times I have tried to get to it  - I decided to do it this june as a sponsored walk which should not only guarentee a determination to get to it but hopfully raised some much needed cash for not just the hero’s in my family but all the others as well.

if you feel like donating, thanks -  visiting my webpage - http://www.justgiving.com/Paul-Carpenter

here’s hoping that the worsed they all come home with is a deep tan.
