Cheat!

After arriving at Challenge Control, having finished this year’s walk, I declared that I had done something that may be considered as cheating. Reassurances were given; I had crossed Scotland under my own steam, even if I did use gravity and a slippery surface to assist me for a few metres (after all, it was said, if I’d glissaded down a snow bank, no-one would have questioned anything other than my safety-mindedness).

The incident in question occurred in Hopeman, where our route took us through a play park. Mick, rather boringly, walked down the bank. Originally, I only intended to pose for a picture:

But once seated, I couldn’t resist going for the ride:

Excellent fun, and (I would wager) a means of travel not employed by many during a TGO Challenge cross-Scotland walk!
