Over the past 32 years, the Highland Cross have gifted £3.8 million to local charities.
Being an invitational event, the chances of mere mortals like myself getting a place is not going to happen but due to a last minute drop out with work, Derek managed to get himself a place.
So, Alison and Di waved them off and then had a mad dash around some very remote corbetts/munros before whizzing back to the Beauly to see Derek and Lottie pass the finish line.
Fantastic party atmosphere in Beauly with a variety of ages and sizes beaming in their glory of making it over the finishing line.
