I've started my 2021 Challenge blog. I wasn't feeling too chipper this year, having had a scond kidney transplant just three months prior to starting and my blood count was a tad on the low side. It made for an interesting route selection - not one I would normally choose.
There are six blog posts so far:
INTRODUCTION
TO SHIEL BRIDGE
SHIEL BRIDGE TO GLEN AFFRIC
GLEN AFFRIC TO ALLT A' CHROINN
ALLT A' CHROINN TO FORT AUGUSTUS
FORT AUGUSTUS TO THE RIVER SPEY

The next day is now posted
RIVER SPEY TO GLEN BANCHOR

Damson gin & Champagne treats
Dinner.
A hard day, downhill all the way...
DAY SIX: TO KINGUSSIE

Ambushing Lord Baltimore
Unexpected washouts
Childlike scams.
Warm and dry or the maelstrom?
DAY SEVEN: TO GLEN FESHIE

With less than four weeks to the start of my Challenge this year, I thought I ought to get a wiggle on and finish my write up of last year's Challenge. Here are the next two episodes:
TGO CHALLENGE 2021: DAY 11: TO CLOVA HOTEL
and
TGO CHALLENGE 2021: DAY 12: TO CONLAWER HILL
:slightly_smiling_face:
Here we are then; I've finished a TGO Challenge write-up! The link below takes you to the last two days of my Challenge from Conlawer Hill to Brechin and then the coast!
DAYS 13 AND 14 TO BRECHIN AND LUNAN BAY
:slightly_smiling_face:
For completeness, I've arranged all the blog posts for my 2021 Challenge on one page. All you need to do is click on the link for each day's post and it will open in a new window for you.
