In 1985 we took part in @TGOMagazine @TGOChallenge across #Scotland This year we revisited some of the places we walked through 35 years ago in our #campervan & had an explosion of memories @camping_holiday backontheroadagainblog.com/2020/10/19/the…
Please think about subscribing if you don’t already. As well as featuring some wonderfully wild places there is a refreshing emphasis on inclusivity.

Day 15 - the last Challenger has arrived in virtual Montrose. Time to pack up@and go home. Have loved the #virtualTGOC. It’s been steak lockdown release but hope it never has to happen again. 51 weeks to go until TGOC21 . . .
Wondering what after #virtualTGOC? The link below is to two great subscription offers including a saving of £23/yr when you sign up for direct debit and you can buy gift subscriptions too. Subscribers can print & digital.. Subscribers get TGO shop.kelsey.co.uk/subscription/T…
Alan Hardy suggested a toast to the coordinators last night - we’re overwhelmed by the response. Thank- you to everyone. Here is our toast to all Challengers and volunteers!
Day 12 - final day for entries to the #virtualTGOC photo comp - beginnings and endings - so starts and finishes , sunrises/sunsets. Entries will close at 9 am tomorrow.
We thought this is worth sharing. Our oldest ever Challenger talking to David Brown, from Baltimore on his 20th and final Challenge at the tender age of 91! He crossed successfully camping every night but admitted to “going soft” as he used 2 campsites! aweewalk.com/wp-content/upl…
Day9 #virtualTGOC - still so many posts on FB go we can’t keep up! Many will be virtually heading for Braemar so we’re hoping for some peace & quiet at virtual Challenge Control whilst they are occupied in the bar . . . Today’s photo comp is bothies &?buildings, ruins & wrecks
Ardbeg was very much required by former @TGOChallenge coordinator @outdoorsmanning but if anyone is asking we’re Aberlour girls . . .
Half way thru #virtualTGO so far on FB gp 600 posts 2500+ comments and 3700+ photos, 0 abusive posts and 0 lockdown breaches. Think Challengers can be proud of that! So photo comp theme today is - people as that’s what makes the @TGOChallenge! ThanksGrahamG and StefanL for pics.
