Family and Friends Honour Tragic Car Crash Darts Player with Match 4000ft Up Ben Nevis

 

Family and friends of a rising Scots darts star killed in a car  crash hit the bullseye with a tribute match 4000ft up Ben Nevis.
 
Father-of-four Bryan Whyte, 34, was about to make his  international darts debut for Scotland when he died in a horror  smash near Fort William in February.
 
His 12-year-old son Cameron, fiancee Dawn, her brother Michael,  Bryan’s brother James and friend Barrie MacKinnon honoured the  talented player by climbing the peak to play a game for charity.
 
HGV mechanic Bryan, from Spean Bridge in Inverness-shire, and  James had planned the match as a fundraiser for a unit at Fort William’s Belford Hospital, where  their late father had been cared for.
 
After the tragedy, James decided to carry on but opted to split  the proceeds between the unit and the Lochaber Phoenix Boxing  
Club in Fort William, where Cameron is a member.
 
The group braved gale force winds to play and James beat Michael,  with Barrie keeping the score.
 
James said: “It was originally just myself and my brother. I  thought I would carry on and do it anyway.“I was hoping to raise £2000 so I could give them £1000 each and  we are on course to do that.
 
“It has been quite overwhelming.
 
“I know what the boxing club meant to Bryan and Cameron. I  thought Bryan would want us to do 
something for them.”
 
Barrie, 33, said it was “a fitting tribute”.
 
He added: “I think it was exactly what Bryan would have wanted. 
James followed in his brother’s footsteps to win a local darts  competition and pick up the Neil Kerr Memorial Trophy.
 
He said: “Bryan won it in 2012 and 2013 and I won it three weeks  ago. My name is on the cup beside his. He would be happy about  that.”
