Good Lord! This year's TGO Challenge blog posts have finally finished. Here's a handy index to sift out the TGO Challenge posts from the rest of the blog. It pulls together all the blog posts for my 2017 TGO Challenge, from sending off the application form, training walks, designing the route to the walk itself.
You can click on each post (it’s in chronological order) and the corresponding blog post will open in a new window.

I’ve had fun putting this together. I hope you enjoy it as well.
That photo: looks more like Glen Marzipan!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Conrad. The Monadh Liath is intensively farmed for grouse (and the subsidies associated with the industry) and wind power stations (and the massive subsidies associated with that industry) so muirburn and unsurfaced roads abound in once glorious hill country.

Do the shooting estates qualify for agricultural subsidies on the basis that they are (albeit briefly) engaged in poultry production? The question isn't intended to be as facetious as it probably looks in print.
