I know I can do it, if I take my time and I'm sensible (me? That could be the tricky bit) but I'm so used to walking with my trusty sidekick, I think that's what will be so strange. I can't wait!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-6845277398674509962010-09-29T08:02:15.356+01:002010-09-29T08:02:15.356+01:00I've never done the TGO but judging from the b...I've never done the TGO but judging from the bloggers that have, and the number of them, there'll be plenty of friendly faces knocking around. Also, you'll get used to it very quickly I'm sure and all the nerves will simply be replaced by a sense of achievement. If you can, do it. It's something on my list but too much else to do right now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023592697740977989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-8523599640873803822010-09-01T14:48:11.915+01:002010-09-01T14:48:11.915+01:00Hi Helen, you're having a go too?

Will be my first one but likely on my own, and I agree with the guys, I'm sure there'll be enough friendly people about to help.<br />As far as axe murderers go, I've just done the WHW on my own and the only time I felt at all threatened was by 3 drunk Glaswegian guys in a proper campsite!

Always bear in mind that if the weather is good and you are going well, a Fine Weather Alternative can be put into place, so it's worthwhile keeping those options in mind and taking the maps. You'll find others to accompany you to popular summits like Lochnagar anyway.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-39310697544005371422010-08-13T07:50:19.526+01:002010-08-13T07:50:19.526+01:00So long as I don't think too hard about the en...So long as I don't think too hard about the enormity of it (for me) then I'm really looking forward to it.
