Out in the CountryKinneff Reelers & Friends Annual Charity Walk 2010.   This walk was a round trip walk from/to Edzell Muir via Hill of Corathro in lower Glen Esk, a distance of around 10 miles.

 

This year the funds raised have been donated to two charities – Bliss and Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (TCCL).

 

The walk – the weather gods smiled upon them, again, and the 30 of walkers had a dry day with some great views (24 hrs earlier would have been a whole lot different!). The walk route was probably a surprise for a few, with it being so close to home but having a lot of contrasting terrain.

 

 

 



A Nice way to round off the dayThe group finished the day at Edzell Golf Club for supper and a putting competition – won by a team with two non golfers, captained by John Forbes!!

 

Thanks to Mike Beattie and Tony Peters for supplying some of the photos.

 

The total amount raised was £2,501 and with gift aid this will increase to £3,009.28.

The individual charities received – figure in brackets is with gift aid added:

Bliss - £1,200.50 (£1,408.64)

TCCL – £1,300.50 (£1,600.64)

 

The TCCL Committee would like to thank the Kinneff Reelers and would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who generously donated to this event.
