Picture of Doodle - a 
black cat

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.

New TGO Report

Geoff Reed is returning to the TGO challenge this May, after ten years away from the event. He has fond memories though, and shares some of them from his 1995 crossing in the TGO Challenge section. Follow Geoff and his pal, Dave, as they make their way from Oban to Auchmithie, surviving trials by Guinness, lost maps, stag party, a wedding and finally being fire bombed on their way to successful crossing.

This all sounds very familiar - except for the fire bombing. I am often amazed at how some characters manage it across Scotland. Mind you, if you have enough alcohol on board you probably need less clothes as your blood will freeze at a lower temperature.

That's my theory anyway. Works for me.

When are you at the Fife this year Geoff?
