Cheers Jane...

Another irreplaceable Challenger gone! She was a real character: witty, full of zest and yes, she always called a spade a spade. I fondly remember her drying her sleeping bag out in Cougie after having been washed out of her tent, and sharing a drink at the bar during the dinner in Montrose, where she rolled her eyes at and had a good moan about all the speeches. Stuart and I were really looking forward to seeing her again this year. Our thoughts are with her family.
A toast to Jane with a good single malt!

This is shocking news. I didn't know Jane well but the couple of times I was in her company on the Challenge she always struck me as so full of life. It's difficult to imagine she is no longer there.

Sad news our thoughts are with her friends and family.

My recall is at the Snake Inn also . Her ( Jane ) , "just know me as Jane Egg!" request still lingers . Alan's picture and title confirmed , for which i thank him . cheers Jane ,thanks and well met . bill h.

This is really sad news. We met Jane on the Challenge and its reunions, and also on a highly enjoyable TGO readers trip to the Taurus mountains and Cappadocia. She was a real character and will be much missed. Our condolences go to all her friends and family.

The Queen of Bree Louise!

I will smile and raise a glass when I recall the times when I was fortunate to have met such a wonderful, larger than life, character.

I wild camped with Jane a couple of times on her first Challenge a lovely Lady who will be sadly missed. My condolences to all her family

As I tweeted earlier today, Jane and the weather were the two most impressive forces of nature I encountered in Scotland. I'll raise a glass; I know that she certainly would.

Walked for a spell with her on a couple of Challenges. Sad news indeed.

What a very sad news. Bert and I met Jane on a few Challenges. She was a kind and honest lady and a brave solo walker. I would like to remind her in the sunshine at the trick point on top of Cairn Caidloch on the 2012 Challenge. Condolences to her family and friends.

This is very sad; like others, I was unaware she had been ill. I had missed out on the pleasure of meeting Jane on any Challenges, strangely enough, but I've just found and re-read a long e-correspondence I had with her when she was considering volunteering for the Himalayan research trip I was organising in 2012. She seemed such a lively and interesting person who would have been an asset on such a trek, and I was disappointed she wasn't able to pursue the idea.

Please may I add my condolences to her family and friends.

Very sorry to learn, belatedly, of Jane's death…

Jane was a smashing lass, a real feisty (Sue used the word this morning… perfect choice!) character who loved the Challenge. Was an absolute pleasure to chat with her at the Snake gathering; absorbing, humorous, intense and a wild inner spirit… so looking forward to the next opportunity to cross Scotland.

Deeply saddened to learn of her death; thoughts are with family and friends, and those fortunate to have shared her company.

Sorry to hear of Jane's passing.

I met Jane on both of my Challenges in 2010 and 2013. I was impressed by her happy spirit and friendly outgoing nature. Lovely person.

RIP :(
