Football legends raffl e

WIN A PIECE OF PELE AND MARADONA

Lochaber High School music students are playing a slightly diff erent tune at the moment by putting their best feet forward in an amazing raffl e to raise money for their bands and the school. For just £2 per ticket, you have the chance to win a boot personally signed by world famous Brazilian footballer Pele and another, signed perhaps using ‘the hand of God’ , by Diego Maradona.

Fully certifi ed and authenticated as the genuine article, the boots were gifted to the school as a fundraiser by a member of the Commando Association to thank the school bands for holding a yearly concert for veterans and providing the music at the Commando Memorial each Remembrance Sunday. Raffl e tickets for this chance to win a part of footballing history are on sale at the school reception. There are also cash prizes on off er. The draw takes place on November 11. Don’t miss it.

Tips for taking to the hills with your best friend

Meet ‘The Wee Man’ and his ‘Little Lady’ - both pseudonyms needless to say! They are staff dogs at Crown Vets. ‘The Wee Man’ is a beagle who has enjoyed camping and bagging Munros since his move from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. His ‘Little Lady’ is a border collie whose greatest love is to run alongside the mountain bike. To follow the previous article about taking your dog hillwalking, here are extra tips they have drawn from their camping and hillwalking adventures this year: 1 When camping, always stow your human treats carefully away from ‘The Wee Man’s nose, especially if it is dark chocolate or raisins as they are toxic. The last thing you need is to have to pack up your camping site in the dark and get him to the vet. 2 Pack a small chamois towel to mop up the puddles that ‘Little Lady’ makes in the tent, especially important if you have a lovely down sleeping bag as it will be useless when wet. 3 Find somewhere safe to tie ‘The Wee Man’ while you are frying sausages on your stove otherwise he will burn his nose and you might lose your breakfast. 4 Bring a tick twister for yourself and the dogs. Also give them an eff ective tick prevention medication like Nexgard Spectra or Bravecto. 5 If you are visiting a bothy, make sure there are no hazards. Look for signs of mouse bait. 6 Be prepared for ‘Little Lady’ to roll in something nasty then cuddle you in the tent. 7 Bring a cosy jumper for ‘The Wee Man’ at night. He’ll probably try to share your sleeping bag and steal your blow up pillow. 8 Remember medications. ‘The Wee Man’ recommends Vetpro Joints and Mobility supplement for any older dog to keep their joints in good condition for hillwalking. 9 Fitting ‘Little Lady’ with a doggie rucksack means she can carry some of their own supplies and provide a good handle to be helped over obstacles. 10 A good waterproof light can be fi tted to ‘Little Lady’s’ collar to help you spot her at night if she gets out of the tent to toilet. 11 Take a collapsible water bowl or be prepared to share your mug with your canine tent mates.
