Chance to hear about Karen’s epic 230km trek along the Outer Hebrides

-

An east Perthshire woman woman who raised over £4200 for charity last summer by completing an epic trek in the Outer Hebrides is hosting a talk about her adventure.

Karen Inkster and her rescue animals - deaf dog Pip and ditsy mare Connie walked 230km across 13 islands of the Outer Hebrides in an experience she describes as “truly humbling”.

Raising funds for the Blairgowri­e Riding for the Disabled, Karen and her four-legged companions - the Deaf, the Daft and the Ditsy - coped with 16 days of rain, bogs, falling off, a missing horse and being sea bound on their own island during their journey, which they completed unsupporte­d.

Karen will be talking about their experience­s at the Royal Hotel in Blairgowri­e on Friday, February 23 at 7pm.

Tickets cost £5.90 and are available from the Eventbrite website by searching for The Deaf the Daft and the Ditsy.

All proceeds from the evening will be donated to The Dogs Trust Scotland.
