I can't promise snow but I can promise lots of cake and tea ... which is nearly as good.

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
if someone was to enter this as a taster event, and wanted to get minimal checkpoints, what kind of distance are we talking?
and would there be some watering holes along the way? :)

I'd estimate sub 30 miles in total.if someone was to enter this as a taster event, and wanted to get minimal checkpoints, what kind of distance are we talking?
Plan your route well and you'll not be short of optionsand would there be some watering holes along the way?

Bigger course next year then - Elan Valley is a lot further away from Llanbrynmair that Mach is?
Got to be more than 30 miles from Llanbrynmair to Elan Valley if you went direct?
Looks good though - might give it a go this time.

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th

Wait for me...
Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
Anyone travelling up from London for this? Really want to enter but it's a load in fuel terms for one night.

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
Well I've paid up now. I'll see if I can rope in any of my local chums. What's not to like about riding & sleeping rough in Wales in January?
Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
How many more do you need Stuart? I think I've recruited another two poor lost souls. They've done the WRT twice, you'd think they'd know better.
Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
Go on then, I'll come too. Will sort out entry later...

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
There's no minimum required but without a certain number, things like hiring the hall, buying cakes and putting together a 'goodie bag' become difficult.How many more do you need Stuart?

Re: El-an Back ... Jan 12th/13th
ok well let us know if/when you think it's a runner as we're quite liking the idea of a b&b on the Friday night, along with a full Welsh brekkie
