Good Luck TGOC 07

Good luck and best wishes to this year's TGO Challengers:

May all your rivers be low, ticks be found, midges be repelled, Lairigs be snow-free, rocks be stable and nights be merry.

Bloggers and other online folks going (I've made a couple of TGO assumptions there, which I may be wrong in):

As Challengers begin to make their way to the starting points, through crowded train stations and airports, these lines from Mr Burns seem appropriate:

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.
