AN outdoor adventurer has set himself a fundraising challenge in aid of Highland Hospice.
Open water swimmer Calum Maclean, from Inverness, aims to spend 24 hours walking around his house from 8am on Wednesday.
He is aiming to generate at least £1500.
It comes after he ran the length of a marathon earlier in the coronavirus lockdown.
He said he was doing it for the hospice because of the fantastic work it does.
"I recently completed a marathon round my garden and it got me thinking: what next?!
"Same thing – only harder; 24 hours walking around the house.
"At roughly one-minute per lap, I aim to do 1500 laps – so I'm starting with a £1500 target. This will be around 82km or 50 miles!
"Once again I'll be sharing the exaltation and exhaustion as I go across social media, and I've invited a variety of friends – some endurance athletes, some not – to do two-hour chunks of exercise as I go, to keep me company, and sane.
"My toes haven't fully recovered from the marathon but I'm feeling fresh, calm and excited for this!"
