Campbell Roy's ability to read maps is extremely well developed, so he is confident that he will not get lost when he sets out in the Borders this weekend on a 540-mile charity trek.
The former British and Scottish Rally champion co-driver, and veteran of more than 150 rallies, was a navigator for some of the biggest names in rallying, including the late Colin McRae and his dad Jimmy.
Four years Roy struck up a friendship with another Scottish sporting legend, Sir Chris Hoy, who had taken up rally driving after he retired from his illustrious cycling career.
Roy was Hoy's co-driver for the McRae Rally Challenge in 2022 and again in 2025 by which time the Olympic medalist's terminal cancer diagnosis had been made public.
That was when Roy decided to do something to raise awareness of prostate cancer and money for research.
