TGO Challenge

[Shewie]

I've been listening to Bob's podcasts for a couple of years and really fancy giving it a go now, it's all booked up for 2011 but I'm gonna try for the year after.

Has anyone here ever completed it ?

Would anybody like to join me in May 2012 (if the application is successful) ?

If I thought A/ I could walk that far and B/The wife would let me have that much time away I would join you like a shot.

Best of luck in the application and the walk if you get it. Want a full report if you do do it.

Ive looked at it a few times, I'd be up for doing it with you in 2012.

 

[v-ness]

I wish!!

That walk is on the list of things to do. In about 6 years, when the kids are old enough to be dragged along. LOL

Good Luck

What sort of routes have you considered before Matt ? I'd probably prefer a mix of high and low if I'm honest.

I think the application window opens around October next year so we'll need to get some ideas down by then.

A mix of high and low would be good, haven't really looked much into the details of the route.
