After a long string of travel delays, I finally made it to Ardrishaig—no food, no sleep, and now a touch of carsickness just to spice things up. Naturally, I kicked off the TGO Challenge dehydrated, foggy-brained, and full of false optimism. Thought dipping my feet in Loch Gilp might help. Spoiler: it didn’t.

Day One: Ardrishaig to Lochgilphead (x5) – 17.1 miles | 27.5 km
Tried five separate approaches to get to Carron Bothy from Lochgilphead, but forestry operations and active construction sites had other plans. Eventually waved the white flag and hobbled into a caravan park for the night. Some days, you just have to call it.

What is the TGO Challenge?
The TGO (The Great Outdoors) Challenge is a unique coast-to-coast backpacking adventure across Scotland. Each May, challengers from all over the world navigate their own self-planned routes from the west coast to the east, crossing mountains, glens, rivers, and moors over the course of 13–15 days.
