A massive congratulations to Andrew who has completed the NC500 challenge, cycling 500 miles in 7 days! 🎉🎉 "How do I feel? Tired, sore, pleased. Pleased with myself, pleased with the amount of support that I got along the way, and grateful for the amount of money that's been donated. We are hurtling towards £2100 now, which is amazing. I'm really looking forward to getting home and seeing my dog, it's been a week! Might not get on a bike for a few days. Thank you everybody."

Andrew is now on Day 5 of the challenge, his last day is Sunday! 👏 Here is his update from yesterday: "Day 4 is complete. The sun was out all day and the terrain was really challenging. Ended up being a long day with 5850ft of elevation gain, this was 1000ft more than expected. Tired now." He's doing a fantastic job and has already raised an incredible amount so far. Let's help him reach his fundraising target of £2,500 and give him plenty of encouragement for the last few days 💚 All donations are greatly appreciated, head over to his JustGiving page to support his campaign: https://lnkd.in/er29fnM4

DAY 3 COMPLETE! ✅ "That was a stunning day!... Day 3 was a massive contrast to the first two days, sunshine throughout even if it was a bit chilly. I had 57 miles planned but finished early so decided to go on and cover some more ground, ended up doing 70 miles with 5000ft of elevation. The views were just amazing." One thing is for sure, that Andrew's positivity and dedication to the challenge are shining! ⭐🌟 He is now 200 miles in, and has completed 12,000 ft of elevation. Another 300 miles and 18,000 ft to go! Donations can be made to his JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/er29fnM4 It's been fantastic to see everyone's kind messages for Andrew. The GLT team and supporters are right behind you 💚

DAY 2 COMPLETE! ✅ After pitching up his tent for the night, Andrew set off on his bike to take on his second day of the North Coast 500 challenge. 'Day 2 was a long, wet, tough day, but the scenery made it another amazing day. 72 miles and 6000ft of elevation across the day. Fingers crossed for some dry weather tomorrow.' Every single donation helps to spur Andrew on and brings him closer to his fundraising goal.

We had a great CPD day last week, with 50 employees joining us at Castan Woods 🌳 Workshops ranged from sustainable fires, listening & trust, and knowing our woodlands - involving a walk through the woods to identify trees, assess their safety, and learn about woodland management. We received lots of positive feedback, and above all, our team enjoyed the chance to connect and spend time together in nature for the day.

DAY 1 COMPLETE! ✅ Andrew has completed 72 miles out of 500, taking him from Inverness to Kishorn 🚴 'Today was the flattest day of the trip. It was wet for most of the day, but it did not dampen my spirits as the views in the second half of the ride were stunning. I have pitched tent and am attempting to dry out a bit, looks like the wet weather is set in for the night and morning tomorrow.'
