Hi guys, been a while since been on here as never seems to be much happening.
Wondering who is doing Coast to Coast Adventure Race in August??
Not many updates or entry list on Open Adventure site.
I’m having a crack at the solo and looking forward to it although a bit nervous. Ken

We also have a deadline of July 14th, as cancellation (boo! hiss!) fees go up to 50% on the 15th. Not something we want to entertain.

Adam Rose replied to the forum topic Bimbache Extrem? in the group Races 5 years, 5 months ago

yep, now we are looking for a 4th team member after one had to drop out.

Ben Shannon replied to the forum topic Bimbache Extrem? in the group Races 5 years, 6 months ago

Catalonia includes the eastern Pyrenees

We’re getting pretty amped for the race. Apparently the focus this year is all about mountains […]

James Brown replied to the forum topic Bimbache Extrem? in the group Races 5 years, 8 months ago

It says Catalonia not Pyrenees? Looks great, only need top 3 for cash prizes…

but realistically, 8th to 14th sept might be booked as work holiday any minute now.

Anyone else done this race? Mr Davies, I seem to recall you gave it a bash….

Our schedule is changing daily, but in terms of a warm climate & slightly longer race, this year’s event in Catalonia looks pretty […]

Hi David & Shaun, I’ve entered the South Downs race too and I’m looking for a running partner or team to join. I’m a beginner with a fair bit of triathlon experience, pretty strong in a kayak and on bike. Let […]

Does anyone know if there is going to be an openadventure C2C next year? If so, is it going to follow the same format?

Adam Rose replied to the forum topic CP Dibbers in the group Races 6 years, 3 months ago

For some of the ultra’s I follow, they’ve used pages from a book – you grab a page from the CP. Different books per CP. Very simple, very cheap.

Never had a problem myself, but I always make sure I hear a bleep or see a flash. I think with the EMIT cards they say you don’t have to actually place in the reader as being near by is sufficient to record you […]

Adam Rose replied to the forum topic CP Dibbers in the group Races 6 years, 3 months ago

IMHO, no dib, no credit, unless there are photos taken by the racer of the CP, proving the CP has been stolen etc.

Big race just took place in SA, where the 2nd placed team couldn’t find CP8, spent an hour […]

During the last year there have been instances where competitors’ results have been amended post race by the race director […]

Hi David, I would be up for joining you. I’m a bit of a novice having just done 2 races (Chilterns and Brecon) but I won the novice vets (age 48) on Sat. I scored 560 but waited 15 mins on the kayak transition […]
