The course took him along an off-road path beside the river Ythan and into the Esslemont Estate. Once on the estate, the going got tougher underfoot and he encountered a few surprises as the course included a series of obstacles including mudpits, steep embankments, hay bales and the river Ythan itself to name but a few. He managed to raise a fantastic sum of £1600.
