Good on ya's, get your entery in tho as the races are restricted as to how many teams we can cater for due to the kayaks and we are well over the half way mark with on adverage 2 teams every day entering, you two will have a blast and finish no bother just read route instructions carefully and listen to race marshals and have fun....!!

This is the last race of the winter series, just not sure if we are going to run a summer series or not tho there are plans for some longer one of races during the summer months also the cooley raid and there are other people who host some ar events down south over the summer, it all comes down to level of intrest a hell of a lot of work goes into orgainising one of these events, so its great to see you's giving one a blast, oh and btw they are very very adictive........make sure you have all your kit i will be doing kitcheck at registration and you could be spot checked on the course heavy penalties for missing kit..........hahahahaaaaa(evil laugh)...!!
