Gamekeeper raises nearly £3,000 for Ukraine with walk around Galloway Forest Park

A gamekeeper has raised nearly £3,000 by walking around the Galloway Forest Park for the Ukraine relief fund.

Gavin McGhie, who lives near Dalry, took on the challenge along with brother Frank, with Steve Grimshaw offering support.

Starting and finishing at Clatteringshaws, it took them 22 hours – including breaks – to cover around 60 miles.

And they took more than 120,000 steps along the way.

They experienced all sorts of weather, including rain and sleet, and it got so cold at night that Gavin’s water bottle froze.

But it was all worth it with £2,855 so far raised for the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Gavin’s fundraising page is now closed
