The RBS Caledonian Challenge 2008

The RBS Caledonian Challenge 2008, sponsored by The Royal Bank of Scotland, takes place on 14 & 15 June and involves teams of between 3 and 6 walkers, in corporate or individual teams, walking 54 miles non-stop along the West Highland Way.

Starting in Fort William the route passes through some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery - up Glen Nevis, down the Devil's Staircase, across Rannoch Moor, and finishing at Ardlui on the shores of Loch Lomond.

All teams are asked to raise a minimum of £500 sponsorship per walker (the organisers aim to raise over £1 million) for the Scottish Community Foundation, which supports small community projects throughout Scotland. To date over 9,500 people have taken up the challenge and between them have raised over £7 million and clocked up over 513,000 miles - the equivalent to walking to the moon and back.
