General Information

 

If you would like to support Over The Wall please consider taking part in - The Ben Ledi walk, organised by The Rotary Club. This event is an ideal vehicle to enable you and your family/ friends/colleagues to find sponsors and raise funds 80% of which goes to Over The Wall, 20% to be shared this year by Mercy Ships, Artlink Central and Callander Action Group.  Continued support from Callander based Caledonian Country Wear and Morrison Construction will enable all event costs to be covered and make no entry fee necessary. All money raised goes to charity.

 

In June 2008 137 entrants raised over £6,000 for some 26 good causes.

 

Ben Ledi, at 879 metres not far short of a Munro, is a challenging but not too demanding a climb. In our previous events, there have been participants from every decade from under 10 to over 70 who completed the course. Regular hill walkers find it an easy climb. Some, who take little strenuous exercise, find it quite tough.Volunteers from the Killin Mountain Rescue team are at check—points and in radio contact with each other and the Start/Finish base. Walkers have to be properly shod and clad, keep to the marked route, reporting at all check-points and at the finish. Those under 16 may only walk as members of family or other adult led groups.
