A friend has made a suggestion, wondering what you all thought of this, would be great for new people and people like me who still cant fell run!!

there are courses where you can go off running/map reading etc. but how about informal weekends perhaps in pendle/yorkshire. In summer, near a pub, perhaps camping or bunkhouse. Two runs (satur day and sunday) not too long, where all take it in turns in navigating to checkpoints. Obviouslty great if more experienced runners could make it too. would be a great social
Let me know what you think, i can suggest a couple of dates and venues
