Tanky - top bloke, maverick. I first met him when I bought some outdoor gear from him when I was about 14yrs old - he was full of inspiration and stuff then (I'm now nearly 50)...ran the Trog a number of times and know folk who've ran it for most if not all of its time.
Races do end, and new things come about - it would be folly to suggest that this new trigger race caused the demise of the Trog. Hopefully the Trog will return and be as well organised as it has been in later years and as maverick as it was many years ago!
