Final Details, finally…

Morning all,

Final Details are in the post. These contain the full list of participants as it stood last night and allocate your Challenge numbers, as well as detailing the phone numbers to be used when making your scheduled contacts with Challenge Control. If you requested SYHA vouchers they'll be included too; if you forgot to request, please send me a SAE with a note of number required (one per Challenger covers the fortnight).

Lots of other fascinating and relevant stuff too, we hope!

Sincere thanks to Richard and Mary Harrison who spent a couple of hours last night helping Steph and me to stuff and sort envelopes.

Overseas Challengers have received the Final Details by email within the last hour though four email addresses have bounced back: Lou & Phyllis, Louise Kiernan, Leo Den Os, and Alain De Decker. Please check with your team leaders or download them from the TGO Challenge resources site.

Re: Final Details, finally…

Louise, received your email but reply not getting back to you - coming up against a spam filter apparently. Try adding me to your address book (if not already≥), see if it makes a difference. In fact try John@ and TGOC@ … outdoorsmanning.com.

Re: Final Details, finally…

Received mine today. I was pleased to see that the score on the front of the envelope read:-

Colin Bennett 1 SYHA 0

I expect some of you only got a score draw.

Re: Final Details, finally…

…that, or sent off for biting!

Anyone else received theirs?

I know of two Challengers and one non-Challenger thus far. Surely more than that have been received out of the 250 posted?

If you'd like to download the Final Details click here.

You can also download the Data Sheet here.

The Data Sheet's a new thing. Scotland's a big place, changes frequently: bridges are built, washed away, fall into disrepair, get repaired. Similarly, folk occasionally come across previously unknown non-MBA bothies. Similarly, in a similarly similar way, Challengers get hung up (literally, occasionally) on new electric fences every year, especially in the eastern glens. We're hoping that folk will take a few notes and pass them on to us when they reach Control, so the vetters can offer more information to the Class of 2014 when vetting their routes.

Not long to go now… have fun!

Re: Final Details, finally…

Yep! All received thanks! Makes it feel more real now!

Re: Final Details, finally…

I know you know I have mine

Re: Final Details, finally…

Yes, I've got mine

and it's a lovely sunny morning here in Devon & I am just picturing me sitting outside my tent in a Scottish glen somewhere (yep, first timer optimism!)

Re: Final Details, finally…

Received and digested! Now it feels real

Re: Final Details, finally…

Mine was waiting for me when I got home this evening. It's good to see I'm still on the Challenge.

Re: Final Details, finally…

Yes, it came! Somehow the fact I'm in BOLD PRINT this year makes it a wee bit scary - or at least, even more exciting than usual!
