A CHARITY walk across Perthshire and Angus will raise money for soldiers, the Prince's Trust and several local causes.
The Cateran Yomp, a 52-mile hike starting and finishing in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, will take place on June 14 and 15.
As an alternative to the gold 52-mile hike, people can raise money for serving and former soldiers and their families by walking 22 miles (bronze route) or 36.5 miles (silver). The trail leads yompers through Kirkmichael, Spittal of Glenshee and Kirkton of Glenisla, and entry to the event is £80 per person.
This includes costs for food, camping facilities, support and activities across the route. For those registering after February 28 the price is £99.
David Fox-Pitt, director of WildFox Events, added: "This year's Yomp is set to be our biggest yet."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
