Engineering staff in fund-raising walk from Queenzieburn to Falkirk Wheel
The staff wanted to raise money for the Beatson oncology unit in Glasgow as one of their colleagues is currently a patient there. The 12-mile trek, which had around 30 participants, has raised over £1,000 so far and money is still being collected.
One of the event organisers, Joanne Kiernan, said afterwards: “It was quite hard going but the weather was kind to us which helped a lot. We kept up a pretty brisk pace although a few of us suffered from blisters and needed to stop occasionally to treat them. I think most of us have recovered now!”
