On Saturday 2nd July, 2011 Dave Forrester (aka Number 6) Russel Procter (aka 6705Russell) , Mike Pendlebury (aka Gribeauvil) and myself Neil (nhp651) plan to sail some "toy boats" the full length of Loch Ness (22.5 miles) in the Highlands of Scotland, from the south of the Loch to the northern end finishing at Langend. This decision was made because of the prevailing winds coming from the north and west, and as such the models that we are going to sail will be very well equipped to take any reasonable weather that the highlands in July could throw at us.
Not only will we be braving each other's company for a weekend, being stuck on a small boat for 6 hours but also the chance of glaring looks from a disgruntled NESSIE and midges that tend to hang around like a bad smell at that time of year.........SO WE WANT YOUR SUPPORT, AND PLENTY OF IT PLEASE.
To support our cause you can either:
Send a cheque made out to the RNLI and dated 2nd July 2011,(pm any member for their postal address)
or pledge online at: justgiving.com/lochnessscalesail (http://justgiving.com/lochnessscalesail)
May I point out that we as a group and singularly,will be meeting ALL out of pocket expenses from our own personal funds, AND NOT from any pledges made. ALL money donated will 100% go to the RNLI
Cheers, on behalf of the team and thankyou for your support.
Dave, Neil, Russ, Mike
