The only way is up for a Black Isle woman with her sights sets high for a cause close to her heart.
Fiona Craighead has signed up for Blythswood Care’s Three Peaks Challenge in the summer.
Fiona, of Culbokie, will climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, scaling the heights of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – all in just three days.
Fiona previously worked for International Nepal Fellowship in Nepal.
Her husband was the Superintendent of a Leprosy Hospital and she taught English to the Nepali staff involved in report writing.
Fiona said: “I enjoy long walks such as the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way. However, the gradient and time factor undertaking the Three Peaks will be new challenges for me. Many ascents of Fyrish will be required between now and June 23 in preparation for it!
“Working as a literacy pupil support assistant in a local primary school, I see the determination of young children to learn to read and write and I know I will have to engage my own willpower to get this challenge completed”.
