Hi it's Mark, on behalf of all those that joined and supported us today "thank you".

I'm not going to lie, it was hard, at points it felt impossible, Edinburgh’s 7 hills and the walking between but old friendships and those born today will live long. What a day!

The link to sponsor or just find out more about our charity BFBS Radio Big Salute is at the end of this video ... you can fast forward... we couldn't😂.
Good night and thank you ❤️

It’s the big one! Arthur’s Seat in the can for Operation Summit!

Well done Mark and the team!

Just 2 more hills to go on the Edinburgh Seven for the BFBS Big Salute.

It’s Carlton Hill next and then back to Edinburgh Castle where it all started!

All about raising money for smaller military charities through BFBS Big Salute grants.

WHAT A VIEW!

Team BFBS Scotland have made it to the Braids and joined by more friends.

It’s the 3rd summit on the Edinburgh Seven.

Arthur’s Seat looks so far away… but that’s later. Onward to Blackford next.

Dig deep and help some brilliant military charities as part of the BFBS Big Salute Operation Summit!

Today’s the day! Mark McKenzie and the team taking on the Edinburgh Seven for the BFBS Big Salute Operation Summit!

They left Edinburgh Castle in style just after 1030, piped off the esplanade and heading for the first of the hills… Corstorphine Hill.

Will Mark look as happy when they reach hill seven (back at the Castle)?
