Staff at Energy Assets/ Pulse 24 are taking part in the Tennents Caledonian Challenge 2010
Staff at Energy Assets/ Pulse 24 are taking part in the Tennents Caledonian Challenge 2010 on June 12th 2010 and our goal is to complete 54 miles in 24 hours! That's two full marathons in distance and more up and downs than two ascents of Ben Nevis - all in one go! It's tough but achievable.
In doing so we will be raising valuable funds in sponsorship to help make a difference to the lives of people in some of the UK's most isolated communities.
- We will be undertaking strenuous physical effort over remote and rugged terrain, including walking through the night and walking hard for up to 24 hours.
- We will be completing the equivalent of 2 full marathons in terms of distance PLUS two complete ascents of Ben Nevis in terms of height climbed/lost.
- We are being sponsored to undertake the challenge, not just to complete it. This includes months of training. We will have completed over 300 miles in training in the lead up to the event, invested in new equipment, and sacrificed many weekend and evenings since we started training in January.
- Only last weekend we completed our last final major training schedule of 48 miles and 8,000ft in assents giving us confidence that we are now ready to complete the challenge!
The team consists of:-
Alan McKeating; Managing Director
Phil Bellamy-Lee; Head of Commercial
Ian Mason; IT Development Manager
Derek Little; AMR Delivery Manager
Cathy Leitch; PA/Executive Support
Lyndsay Beattie; Contracts Administrator
With the support of: Alan and Pauline Brown
The Caledonian Challenge is an epic journey that takes us along the West Highland Way: through some of Scotland's most famous remote, rugged and stunningly beautiful landscapes! Ben Nevis, Glen Coe, Rannoch Moor, Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. It is classed as 'The Walk of Your Life'! We need your support in the form of sponsorship
Since the event’s inception in 1996, over 13,000 Tennents Caledonian Challenge participants have raised £9 million.
The Foundation matches every £1 raised and distributed from the Challenge with £2 from other philanthropic sources
