GLEN MAZERAN

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.
