Right on cue — as per usual — I have finally got around to writing this **** journal, just in time for the next round of applications.

TGO Challenge 2012: Torridon to Stonehaven

Marvel a Our intrepid Challengers trudge through the snow, get soaked in the rain and fight through the wind;

Alan Callow cleans out Aviemore Mountain sports;

Mike Knipe grieves for his lost spork but finds thousands of free spoons;

Lindy Griffith takes a nap in Easter Balmoral;

Peter Molenaar stays clean and spotless as he walks across Scotland;

Mervyn Redshaw goes Feugh knows where;

Gayle and Mick kill time by buying a house;

John Manning asks “why me”?

Plus, fantasies of Kylie, what happened to Alan’s coffin, all change at the Hungry Highlander, some worrying things going on in the Rothimurcus, taking a wrong turn in the Monaliadth, Tony Bowe puts his body through agony once again and the peculiar case of Rob Hausam’s shoes.

And so much more.

Sweet

.......Sweat.

Worth the wait, Andy.

stonking!

Hi Andy - enjoying your journal - your route was similar to the one I planned this year only I succumbed to the rigours and failed to finish....well done for getting to Montrose!

What a fantastic write up. One glaring omission. No photos of you with a toe in the sea at the end! I'm fancying a Torridon start next too, or Oban, or Mallaig...

I don't remember any of this. Are you sure I was there?
