One of the best known characters of the Challenge is Alan Sloman who always seems to be at the heart of any of the many social gatherings which take place during the crossing.
This year he had somehow managed to combine the traverse of Scotland with a Lands End to John O’Groats walk for charity. A total of over 1600 miles.
Of course, once he had finished the Challenge he then had to walk back to the West coast to reach his goal. This full length interview covers all aspects of his trip, the mental, the physical, the environment and of course, the gear!
