The Great Outdoors (magazine)
The Great Outdoors (formerly TGO)[1] is a British monthly consumer magazine focused on hillwalking and backpacking, first published in 1978.[2] It was edited for many years by Cameron McNeish. Chris Townsend and Jim Perrin are among many regular and long-term contributors to the magazine.
The Great Outdoors was published by Newquest until October 2015, when it was sold to Kelsey Media.[3] Kelsey Media's headquarters are based in Cudham, Kent.[2]
The Great Outdoors is the main sponsor of the TGO Challenge, an annual coast-to-coast backpacking event in Scotland, invented by Hamish Brown and originally called the Ultimate Challenge.
