The deadline for entries is beginning to loom, now less than two weeks to go, so if you are thinking about next year's Challenge it's time to put pen to paper.
There is a steady stream of entries making it's way to the Highlands but disappointingly few from first timers so if you know of any potential newcomers please point them in the direction of the October TGO or if they want more details get them to give us a ring on 01540 673360 or email us on tgoc@newtonmorehostel.co.uk

This is one of these thorny issues. Every time I enthusiastically suggest the Challenge to someone who I think would enjoy it, I kick myself afterwards and mutter to myself: "Why did you do that? Do you WANT to reduce your chances of getting in?".

Never seems to stop me, though.
