Welcome to the TGO Challenge, the world's premier backpacking event!

Every May sees between 250 and 350 backpackers hike from Scotland's west coast to east, through some of the most stunning – and testing – landscapes in Europe.

It's a test of backcountry skills, navigation and stamina – but Challengers also share wonderful camaraderie and friendship.

Full details appear in the October issue of TGO Magazine, Britain's leading authority on hillwalking and backpacking for more than 30 years.

The TGO Challenge is sponsored by TGO Magazine and supported by specialist outdoor clothing company Rab.
