Walking the Umbrella Walk for the Buccleuch Centre

Today along with Iona Butlin and Ian Graham we walked the Langholm Rotary Club Umbrella Walk to raise money for The Buccleuch Centre. Iona and Ian photographed here with Frankie Steele who was acting as a marshall for the event.

The three walkers raising money for The Buccleuch Centre and we raised £190 which will be added to by three local trusts that support the walk plus Gift Aid so we have had a very successful event. There were 195 walkers at Langholm and about 40 at Canonbie so I think it could be a record year with between £13K-£15K raised for over 20 different organisations in the community. This is a great legacy from my late good friend Alastair Davies who thought up the idea many years ago and Langholm & Canonbie walkers have raised well over £100K since he started it.

Well done to all who took part and to all who sponsored the walkers.
