Welcome to Doodlecat - where we enjoy the great outdoors and gather a range of news and views. Much of the content
is courtesy of the generous contributions from the splendid people who participate in the annual TGO Challenge, so there is
a wealth of outdoor experience here, especially if you like walking in Scotland - but we try to range worldwide.
The home page is where we post the latest news and views from the Doodlecat team. You can have your say
too! Just click on the 'comments' link on any of the posts - or if you have a story or photogallery that you think we'd like, then
let us know. Random Doodles and the
Image Gallery welcome guest contributions, as well as the perennial favourite, the
TGO Challenge pages
The blogroll on the right displays ten links to other sites that you might like to try out - there are a lot more, and the list will change each time
you visit or 'refresh' the page.
Enjoy your stay.
A View from the Scrap Heap
Those of you who I met at the recent Challenge reunion, another great event organized by Pauline & Bernie Marshall, will know I was made redundant a few weeks ago. Every one expressed the appropriate concern for my plight. Well now I've had a couple of weeks to let the reality of the situation sink in and all I can say is it is hellish.
I spent 5 days walking to the Challenge reunion along the West Highland Way. This week I have been for a walk along my local beach everyday, I would have gone further afield but the weather has been dreecht. On Sunday and Tuesday I will be walking on the Isle of Arran, next weekend I'm going to Ullapool and Pitlochry Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the week after. As I said hellish.
The only problem I can see is at sometime in the future I will have to get a new job but for the moment I'll just have to put up with my situation.

I understand you're going through a difficult period. You'll surely miss your boss ! Walking through this beautifull country like a lost soul in the mist. My thoughts are with you, only my thoughts,alas.

Sounds like a complete bastard Ian...
How about a winter LEJOG? Should be no more expensive than living at home.
Just a thought to dangle there...
Nice idea Alan but I fear my days as a gentleman of leisure will have to be over before I could reach JOG. After all I have the Australian vinyards, the Japanese camera industry and Apple to support. Not to mention the European brewing industry.

Aye Ian
The coincidence of your temporary withdrawal from these key markets and the current turmoil on the bourses of the world cannot be mere chance.
All the best
