The challenge

“just a cycle, followed by a run, then a paddle with another wee cycle to finish.” The reality is much more severe…


Epic 2012 Route


Epic 2012 will see Greg, Garry and Lee, use three disciplines over six days to cover a journey from Gallie Craig in Scotland’s south west to John O’Groats in the north east, in order to raise funds for Yorkhill Children’s Hospital. The 427 mile trip starts with a 140 mile cycle, stopping off at Yorkhill Children’s Hospital on the way, in order to see some of the children who will benefit from the £60k they hope to raise.

The rest of the journey will include RUNNING the West Highland Way, CLIMBING Ben Nevis and PADDLING the Great Glen from Fort William to Inverness. The challenge will be completed with a final gruelling CYCLE on tired legs to John O’ Groats.
