TGO Challenge 2012 - My Crossing of Scotland

[Teepee]

The weather isn't looking great for them. The weather guy on the beeb said yesterday that its wasnt a day to be walking on the scottish tops!

Hoping they are doing OK, I'm expecting some epic tales of weather when they get back.

Sorry Rich, got to this thread late. However, I'll be ahead of the game...

Welcome back Rich, Hope you had a great time and survived in style

Hope the weather was fine and dandy (20* C down south on the coast today, probably not that warm up in kiltland but tbh I hate hiking in heat anyway)

Look forward to your blog later mate.

Hope your not getting it as bad weather wise as we are in south east Scotland Rich,tad damp to say the least.

 

[Wayland]

I'm really looking forward to the report on this one.

It looks like conditions are "testing" to say the least.

Hope it's going well.

 

[Flumpie]

"Testing" is definately a fair description, I hope Shewie is enjoying every mile along his trip after so long spent planning

Must admit the tales he'll come back with I'd enjoy hearing by the campfire I'm sure.

I finished my crossing on Thursday lunchtime. It was a solo crossing but I walked with various people from time to time, it's one of the things that makes the TGO challenge so rewarding, and I wasn't expecting that. If their crossing was anything like mine they'll have plenty of stories, particularly that first Sunday when a month's rain fell in one day. Very tough walking, and river crossings were extremely risky. Record numbers were forced to drop out this year, in addition to the day of rain we had snow, hail and sunshine. It was my first crossing but I'll almost certainly do another. A remarkable couple of weeks.

 

[Hetzen]

Well done everyone. I've been logging on daily to see if there's been an update.

 

[Shewie]

Just got back from a week in the States, life should get back to normal again now so I'll get my pics and report up soon

 

[Wayland]

Looking forward to it Rich.
