Snip snip go the scissors...
With hundreds of people carefully cutting out one particular page of the October TGO magazine, now seems a good time to add to the archive of challenges past.
This month in our TGO Challenge section, Mike Knipe explains why he is not writing up the 2009 challenge (go to the article here), and Derek Emsley recalls 1999, when he made the first "three generation" crossing with his son and grandson.
Mike Daniels' 1987 Challenge with the late Iain Matheson, taking in all the 4000' hills, attracted a lot of interest. In a similar spirit, another pair of challengers set out this year with the objective of a high level crossing - as high as possible. They achieved their crossing at an average height of 599 metres, which bearing in mind the start and finish are at 0 metres, and some of the weather in between was not exactly benign, is pretty impressive.
That's coming soon. Watch this space ...
