Challengers’ Blogs and Photos

Here are all the blogs, vlogs and photos that we know about so far.  If you would like to add yours let us know at  tgochallenge@gmail.com.

They are in alphabetically order but don’t take them in order or you will never get to Dima Zlonyk’s wonderful 2022 photos and Sabine Zawadski’s excellent photos and YouTube videos! Indeed her 2022 video trilogy and Dean Read’s vlog are a must for potential new Challengers.

TGOC21 had far fewer participants than usual so we don’t have too many accounts but there are plenty from 2022 and previous years to keep you occupied.

They are in alphabetical order but do scroll down or you will miss out on Rory Webster’s excellent 2023 blog or Sabine Zawadski’s videos of previous years.
