Challenge on the TV
The BBC has confirmed that The Adventure Show featuring the 2008 TGO Challenge will be broadcast on BBC2 Scotland and Sky Channel 990 on Sunday August 3 at 6pm.
It’s a great slot, prime time on a Sunday evening so you can all settle down and watch Songs of Praise 
then enjoy all those TGO Challengers making their way across Scotland from coast to coast in the heat and toil.
The other event featured on this particular Adventure Show is the Cape Wrath Challenge and other features include Chris Townsend talking about the gear he used on the TGO Challenge and my own Wild Walk slot which is to Beinn Macdui in the mist and rain!

I am looking for a challenge for next year and the Southerland trail look,s right up my street. I have done the coast to coast, Hadrians way, West island way and the Cleveland way.I wild camped and enjoyed the freedom to walk the distance i felt like walking.
I don,t drive, live in York and could you let me know the easiest way to get to the start and back from the finish.

I think the easiest way to do the route by public transport is to take the train from Inverness to Lairg, catch a daily post bus from Lairg to Lochinver, walk to Tongue then catch the postbus back to Lairg for the train south again. Alternatively there is a daily bus service between Inverness and Durness which stops at Lochinver. Walk to Tongue then catch the postbus to Lairg to return to Inverness by train. Hope this helps.
