Thanks again. I'll keep looking at their site. I seem to think entries open up in in Jan.
Another quick question for you (hope you don't mind).....
As far as navigation is concerned, is this a marked course or is a high level of navigational skill required? Is there a need to recce the course and look in great depth at maps beforehand etc.
Thanks
Yes, entries open.Quote:

Hi
I've missed out on a place in this year's UTMB, but having done the last few years, it's quite nice to look forward to something different; so thought I'd try this one.
I appear to have got a place on the 2011 GRP
Anyone else doing this one?
cheers
Matt
Hi Matt
