What a great event to participate in. Thank you to all the challengers I walked with & met over the 2 weeks. Thank you to the kind gentleman who saved me on stormy Sunday & got me to Glen coe hostel from Kings House (the most inhospitable place on the crossing). Across to Rannoch station with Tony Pugh. Loch Tummel with Bill A. Mike in Clova. Tarfside!. What a lovely surprise & welcome from everyone, especially Alvar & Anne. Onto NWB with Jim Davidson, where we met Mike & Big John. The final leg to StCyrus with Jim& Mike, with a dip in the North sea,& a wee dram to warm up with from Jim. Then onto meet all in Challenge control at the Park. A wonderful experience, & one which I very much hope to take part in again soon. Thank you to everyone who made it so special

There will never be a more memorable Challenge than the first one, especially after the conditions encountered this year. Well done.

It was my first challenge too. I agree, it was a fantastic event. I'll certainly be back, hopefully in 2014. I was expecting to enjoy the walk, what surprised me was how much I enjoyed the social aspect.

Well done John. Glad all went well. Thanks for your company on that pleasant day. Lets hope all the rest of your crossings are drier and sunnier.....
