The Drop York Evening Adventure

​We put you on a bus...
We blindfold you...
We take you to an unknown location...
You have no tech, no map, no watch, no idea where you are...
Will you make it back to HQ or be lost for ever?

At registration you will hand over all electronic devices, phones, watches and money! In return you will be given, a race number and an emergency bag.

No Compass 

You are fully self sufficient from the moment you leave the coach, make your own way. So run, walk or crawl your way back.

Cut off time 4.0 hours (10 mile as the crow flies so possibly 13/14 miles... or more!)

Be warned now, the distances are as the crow flies
*blindfolded, we will be using blackout safety goggles, we appreciate that some people may have problems but don't worry we have an alternative! 
 
The following will get you disqualified;
