The Knight Property Group team successfully completed the RBS Caledonian Challenge 2011 by walking 54 miles in under 23 hours over the weekend.
 
The challenge saw competitors complete ‘The Walk of Your Life’ by doing the equivalent of two full marathons in distance to raise money for the Scottish Community Foundation which supports some of the country’s most isolated communities.
 
Competitors walked from Gairlochy through the Great Glen Ways and West Highland Way footpaths via Fort William, Kinlochleven, Glencoe Ski Centre and Inveroran, before finally finishing at Auchtertyre.
 
James Barrack, group managing director of Knight Property Group and the challenge team leader, said: “We had a fantastic weekend doing the challenge. It was tough going at times but we had a strong team who had trained long and hard to accomplish it.
 
“The scenery was breathtaking throughout the course which helped immensely in keeping us motivated. We were exhausted when we reached the finish line but proud and happy to have met the challenge head on!
 
"We have had overwhelming support, particularly in terms of donations, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped us to reach and surpass our £6000 target.”
