1499 Sponsored  "West Highland Way"  Walk 2008

Brethren from Lodge Buchanan organised a sponsored charity walk, which took place on 19th April 2008. The walk started from Inverarnan to Inversnaid, then a much needed "refreshment break" or basically a couple of pints, them from Inversnaid to Rowardennan and then some more liquid refreshment. The distance was 14 miles and was two sections of the West Highland Way , all completed in one hot summers day. There were 10 brethren that started . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and finished the walk.

The Lodge Buchanan brethren were  Archie Fotheringham (RWM), Paul Kerr, Ian McCutcheon, Euan Hunter, Jim Leary, Derek Stibbs, Fred Stibbs, Billy Murphy, Stewart Wilson & Stewart Walker (WSW Kirkhill 1230)

Billy Kerr and Willie Rae were  the backup team with the minibus.

RWM Bro. Archie Fotheringham presented a cheque to RWPGM Bro. Jim Jack on the 19th May 2008 on behalf of Lodge Buchanan for the £2065 that was raised, which was to be donated to the 2008/9 Provincial Caravan Appeal.

Below is photographic evidence of their determined hard work, you'll see it was a difficult "slog".
