I'm definitely interested - it was a great event last year despite the weather.

Due to my success, I'll be in B class this year  ;D
Probably needing a partner: Bic, have you done this before?

...haven,t entered an event before, though am a competent orienteerer/navigator, keen outdoor walker average/above average fitness.....though i lend my fitness more to hills and outdoors than gym and upper body...if that makes sense....

Cool - you'll definitely enjoy it, although I'll be looking to run everything 'not upwards' with a 5kg pack so perhaps our objectives are a little different.

If you don't plan to run a lot, perhaps C would be a better introduction?

I wasn't sure by your comment - you mentioned walking more but with the orienteering and that you might be a flyer!  but check out the times from the previous years on the site and you'll get an idea of what you might be comfortable with.

Think I'll be giving class C a go, I have a friend who says they want to do it, but I'll probably end up looking for a partner on here.

Probably wont be entering now for this year. Have 2 weekends in Sept booked off for travel, won't get another... but it is on every year.

I would have loved to have given the walk a go, but have a family wedding that weekend! Maybe we could organise a trip on here some weekend following the same route? Has anyone done the challenge walk before?
