In May 2009, Firefighters Lee Peyton and Garry Mackay will head to the Outer Hebrides to complete a 300 mile self-supported journey from the south of the island chain to the most northerly tip, the Butt of Lewis. The duo hope the Outer Hebrides Sub 60 Challenge will raise £25,000 for CLIC Sargent
En-route, in a totally human-powered expedition, they will:
- Visit all 15 inhabited islands
- Kayak between them
- Cycle across all of them
- Run to the top of the highest hill on each island
- Complete the route in less than 60 hours
- Raise £25,000 for CLIC Sargent
In total this involves over 250 miles of cycling; around 20 miles kayaking (in some of the most challenging tidal waters around the United Kingdom) and ascending around 4,000 metres in height whilst covering approximately 30 miles on foot.
