"Grab your waterproof, you've pulled!"

Shortly after 0330h this morning, I dragged myself out of bed and was going through the necessary ablutions when the mobile phone pinged after being resurrected after a few short hours.
There, at the top of the pile of twitter notifications, was the email...


"Welcome to the TGO Challenge"


I am not on the Standby List any more.  See you in the Highlands!

  2. Well done, Sir!

    This is excellent news. At last your poor family can get some peace.... The standby list is a bit like purgatory...

    And, Relax!

    1. Thanks Martin - The hard work has only just begun, and nail-biting waits remain:
      - the route vet
      - the rail platform x 3
      - the short time after breakfast and before 0900h on the 11th May.
