Four intrepid friends recently completed the St Cuthbert’s Way to remember a pal who tragically died – and raised £1,600 for charity.
The Archie Foundation and the Macmillan Trust will benefit to the tune of £1,000 and £600, respectively, thanks to the efforts of Donny Mackay, Brian Dowling, Jake Gibb and Ian Cameron.
The lads, all of whom hail from Carnoustie, have completed six walks in the seven last years, only missing out last year due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
And this year they completed their 62-mile effort from the Scottish Borders to Northumberland in memory of friend Ian Reid, who tragically died from cancer in March last year at only 53 years of age.
