TGO Challenge

The Great Outdoors Challenge is a unique and very special Scottish backpacking institution, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2019. Since 1980 thousands of people have taken up the opportunity to backpack from Scotland’s west coast to the east as part of this annual event – each of them following their own carefully crafted route. Many of those Challengers come back time and time again, drawn by the potential for both wilderness and camaraderie. The 2019 event takes place 10th – 24th May.
