    I have entered the 3rd one as it is After the Runfurther do and we will be close by. I guess at that time of year they have made e penalties hard to ensure everyone is back promptly. It is harsh but if we know in advance then..... RAB MM you lose all once you are 30 mins late which in big mountain areas is easier than it sounds to cock up

    Not convinced by the lose-all-points-if-1-second-late rule though!
    It was a good turn out in the end I think, 80+ peeps. My first bash at a series like this and found the cut off was OK as there were quite a few controls near the end if you had time over like I had. Might try being a bit risker next time

    on the other hand if you find yourself miles away and running out of time there's no incentive to race back!

    means they aren't waiting for latecomers though! Need to plan it extra carefully, an interesting twist.
    Only heard good reviews so far (albeit n=2). Hoping to make the next one for some bleaklow fun.

    It was very good! Loved it. Did it within time but my twin sister went over by 2 minutes and was gutted!
    I think it adds a good twist to the adventure and you really have to plan your route carefully and not go over time.

    Really enjoyed it. I'll try and push myself a bit harder on the next one.
