MS Society NI - Ben Nevis Weekend 11 - 13 June 2010

The perfect team building weekend!  Have fun, engage in teamwork and raise valuable funds for MS Society NI!
Challenge yourself and complete our Ben Nevis challenge.  When the weather is good the views from the top of 'Heaven Mountain' of the Western Isles of Scotland are truly spectacular.  Over the weekend the emphasis will be very much about fun.  Our group will walk the popular Tourist path up and down the mountain and we expect the walk to take up to 8 hours (5 hours up and 3 hours down).  As the maximum gradient is just 1:5 any reasonably fit and active person should have no problem making it to the summit and down again - after the obligatory glass of champagne of course.

£35 deposit and minimum donation of £395 required.

Call us now on Tel: 028 9080 2802 for a Ben Nevis information pack and sponsor forms - places on this event are limited so please book early.

Give your comments, ideas on Possible Muscular Dystrophy walk

 John Gibson and his brother are trying to put together a event for charity, they have a nephew who has a child's form of Muscular Dystrophy and they wish to raise some money for the charity which helps him and his family.
Last year his brother undertook a walk around a great deal of N. Ireland ( 350 miles in 17 days in May), raising a very reasonable sum for a good cause. 
The thought was that on the Holiday weekend in May 2010, Whit bank holiday, Sat. and Sun. doing approx 13/14m per day.1st day starting at a car park just outside Antrim and going towards Randlestown and Toome then west to the western shore of the lough then south until either 13 or 14 miles has been completed, and on the second day starting at the same car park but this time going south passed Aldergrove airport and beyond until 13 or 14 miles has been done.
The main route will be following the National Cycle Network around the lough as much as possible, there will be some small bits which will not follow the NCN.
John would be grateful for views on getting this event going, would clubs be interested in joining for this worthy cause or if you know of any other rambling/walking clubs that may want to go for a stroll around what is as everyone knows a lovely part of N.I.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, any help, encouragement
 advise and or support will be received gratefully and with thanks.
