Anyone fancy doing the Mourne Mountain Marathon this year for free? It's class D so there's loads of time to make the points and I'm not expecting anyone to do any major amounts of running: just walk at a good pace consistantly will do me.

My team mate is making noises about not being able to do it and I feel the excuses coming on already so I'm trying to see about reserves.

Anyone fancy it?

I am definitely up for this!!  Will be my first time so not sure what class to enter and also need a partner!! 

I've downloaded the route card from last year so hopefully gonna give it a run soon and see what time i can roughly get out of that, that should give me an idea of what one.  Id prob say either C/D since first time and all.

Anyone interested let me know :)


Route card any way you can provide link?

you just pick your own start time, for d class i would start late unless you think you will struggle to meet the checkpoint, poor navigation is more likely to slow you down than poor fitness, i know you have the legs for it so if you navigate ok then no point in starting really early as you have to spend more time at the campsite with not a lot to do (well you can't carry much beer  ::) ) also if you start late you find a bit of a trodden path to the markers  8)

It would be worth doing a wee orienteering event for a little practise too, i think there's one on in Hillsborough Forest next wed evening.
