Corbetts for Courses - the finale

4/10/2019

0 Comments

 

Our fundraising initiative, Corbetts for Courses, took place over the 3 months of May, June and July 2019. Over the course of the event, more than 200 ascents of corbetts were made including 139 distinct hills. 
In total we raised almost £1200 sufficient to fund 30 places on our navigation and winter skills courses.
More than 70 people took part in the event, some solo, some with family/friends and others in clubs.
The more remote hills were approached by kayak and yachts and we even had a night-time ascent of Goatfell on Arran.
​Mountain Aid extends its thanks to everyone who supported the event.

Well we've now reached the end of our Corbetts for Courses fundraising initiative. During the 3 months of May, June and July we managed to climb 139 corbetts out of a total of 222. Initial indications are that we have raised £1177.07 for Mountain Aid funds. This will pay for 29 places on our free hill skills courses. A big thank you to everyone who took part in the initiative.
