THIS year’s Tarbet Challenge in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support will be held on Sunday August 14.

The event consists of a seven-mile walk along the shores of Loch Morar, arriving at the remote township of Tarbet on Loch Nevis.

The Western Isles passenger ferry will then pick everyone up, returning to Mallaig after a cruise down the loch.

On arrival at the pier in Mallaig, participants will be met by piper Nathan Ritchie who will lead the way to the Chlachain Bar where fish suppers and a pint will be provided. There will be a ceilidh afterwards featuring folk band Maratime.

In 2015, the event raised £1,390.15 which organisers are hoping to surpass this year.
