    Me. It's the only bit of fell running that I'm any good at (it's all relative).

    Darn it! I thought you meant rock climbing, but it looks an awesome event in a fantastic setting. Maybe next year

    £175 Manchester to Oslo with SAS. There maybe a nearer airport as it's nearly 300 miles from the airport to the race area.

    300 mile 'sportive' ride to get there?

    I stumbled over this site by accident on the Eryri harriers web site,ironically i was looking for the start time for the Wrexham xc event on sat,which is the flattest off road race in history.
    This event is exactly what i'm looking for,however can't do august
    Does anyone else have links to simular events around Europe ?

    I've done this and quite enjoyed it, although it would have been better if it went back down again as the descent was really good fun - got lots of strange looks as I belted down hill. These European's don't like decending much do they?

    Be prepared to get beaten by loads of top class XC skiers keeping fit for the Winter.
