Organiser's Description
Mountain biking, running, navigation and adventure! Starting from the village of Slaidburn, racers are in for a real treat, with something for everyone including open moorland, forest, and low lying valley bottoms. Navigation will be key, especially if the weather is not favourable - with lots of footpaths, bridleways and forest tracks to chose from, the planners will have a lot of cards in their hands from which to deliver a superb event. Visit as many controls as you can by bike and on foot within a 5 hour time limit. You can either run or bike first, it's up to you - as long as you collect at least one bike control and one run control.
