Hope everyone has a Challenge that they'll remember forever, for all the right reasons - dry feet on pleasant paths, magical views, midge-free camping spots, good company, and distant hills that beckon you on. Wish I was joining you, but I don't think they'd let me bring a pack pony!

My better half always used to point out that dogs are forbidden but they say nothing about donkeys......

Many of you will be about to set out to the west coast (albeit with a detour to a certain licenced establishment for some!) so best wishes for a enjoyable crossing, and I hope you manage to complete it before the impending midge over population event takes place and that the weather is suitably kind to you.
