TGOers for the off; I think we're alone now
Well that's that then.
After the last few weeks of mild panic and last minute plan changes, peace and quiet. You and me - well we've got the Internet to ourselves at last. Well sort of.
The TGO Challengers are all well on their way to their respective start points, or there already, prepared for the start on Friday 11th.
So I guess that means the outdoor blogging scene (and sales at lightweight specialist retailers) now go very quiet.
For a period at least. Except for those who opt to report as they go. Although the mobile coverage in Scotland may have a little something to say about that.
Naturally after the recent extended period of pre-summer sunshine the weather report for at least the next few days looks particularly crap. Rain, lightning, and a little snow to pepper the experience. Shucks. Just normal hill weather. But I'm sure the two weeks of shared experience will pass in a flash for many. And whatever the weather that experience will be what sticks in the memory. Whatever the outcome of the walk.
Best of luck folks. And a particular pat on the back to Weird Darren, who's been through a lot recently, man flu apart, and is now flying unexpectedly solo, at the last minute. Have faith Darren - I'm sure you've got the will power to see it through to the end. And there's so many new friends that you're about to meet.
And if by chance there's any web based stuff you TGOers want to get to, but for one reason or another can't access, drop me a comment or e-mail and I'll post/e-mail whatever I can if it's of any help. I have no idea what that may be, but the offers there.Labels: TGO Challenge
