Yep, me and the eldest are of in a couple of weeks to have a crack at this event.

My eyes are on stalks at the moment from map studying. There's more there to ride than you shake a stick at.
Unfortunately not really the sort of event for "Lil" so it's the TTR 600, with the huge comfy saddle, and electric boot, and 23ltr of fuel on board, that should get me through day 1.

We did not get on :roll: , one of the clues was the tag was "on a tree", trouble was it was in a hedgerow of a thousand other trees :( We did find it eventually, after half an hour. But when queried about effectiveness of the clue offered, he immediately took um-bridge, even though most people did NOT find the "obvious " tag.
You could do the event on CRM but something with leccy boot would be better, as you end up stopping hundreds of times a day, map reading, and looking for tags. You need a team of you really, and a team who all want to share in the work load, it's fecking hard work for one to all the map reading for a couple of days in foreign lands.

That is deemed as "not in the spirit of the event " . The riding terrain is second to nothing though.
