"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!.” Bear Grylls
The Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp is the latest adventure challenge to be filmed by Tigershark.
Designed for teams of between three and six, the event has three different distances to choose from: You can walk 54 miles for Gold, 37.5 miles for Silver or 23 miles for Bronze.
Starting and finishing in Blairgowrie, the Cateran Trail takes you through some of the most hidden and spectacular areas of Scotland, including Kirkmichael, Spittal of Glenshee and Kirkton of Glenisla if you manage to finish the 54-mile hike.
In 2011 over 200 yompers crossed the finish line at the first ever Alliance Trust Cateran Yomp. This first year of the event is on track to raise over £200,000 for two great causes - ABF The Soldier's Charity and the Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust.

In the footsteps of thieves
|
The Trail is named after the Caterans – marauding cattle thieves who flourished in the more lawless regions of the Highlands from the Middle Ages until the 17th century.
More feared than wolves, cateran raiding parties numbered anything from 50 to 500 fierce warriors.
Favouring dark nights, and often remarkably well informed about their targets, they would descend on richer neighbours when they were off guard.
Weddings and other festivities often provided an opportunity for a raid and many revellers would sober up to find their folds empty and their cattle gone.
The Caterans raided far and wide but the rich farmlands of Glen Isla and Strathardle were particularly 'favoured'. By custom they would return by a different way from which they came, using ancient drove roads through remote glens.
