Over the years, the event has raised tens of thousands of pounds for local people living with sight loss.

Guide to the Sands, Raymond Porter, said: “It will be fantastic to lead Galloway’s out to Chapel Island for their first time on this part of the Bay.”

Guide to the Sands, Michael Wilson said: "Raising funds for this important local charity is a highlight of our year.”
