The Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT) has been chosen to benefit from a new challenge event - The Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp.
Taking place on Saturday 25 June to Sunday 26 June 2011, the Yomp is a walking challenge with a difference. Starting at Blairgowrie the Yomp will lead teams of 3-6 through Kirkmichael, Spittal of Glenshee and Kirton of Glenisla with checkpoints and support teams on hand along the way.
Walkers, their families and supporters will be part of a walking festival and will be treated to live bands, fireworks and a magic lit forest trail along the route. Unlike other walking challenges, the Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp offers something for everyone with a bronze, silver or gold challenge open to walkers of any ability and a 'Mini Yomp' to encourage families with little ones to share in the fun.
Supporting the event is adventurer, TV presenter and Chief Scout of the Scout Association Bear Grylls who holds the Guinness World Record for being the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest, says of the event: "It's an epic challenge for an epic cause! This one is going to take guts, endurance and heart. Three great things to live by! Go for it guys!"
The event is part of a partnership between The Alliance Trust and The Soldiers' Charity and PSYBT, with one third of the event's proceeds going to PSYBT.
