East Loch Lomond-based pals Fiona Flanagan and Dave Arcari are taking up a challenge from Scottish Mountain Rescue to raise funds by each ‘covering’ 56 miles in May.
But unlike the majority of fundraisers walking, running or cycling, the pair are doing the distance – a mile for every rescue call-out per month – on stand-up paddle board.
“Fifty-six miles doesn’t sound far, but it is when you’re on a paddle board!” says Arcari who took up the sport last November after Fiona encouraged him to give it a try.
