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.

Derek has written up the adventure, and with detailed maps and a gear list, so this really is a treasure trove of good up to date information for anyone considering a Challenge "Haute Route" for 2010.

Great account.
Is there an easy way to work out the average height of a route?
