Bowland Challange 2007
When: 29th-30th June 2007
Where: The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Bowland Challenge is a team competition based on fell running /hill walking and navigation held entirely within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The aim of the competition is for teams of 2 to 6 adults to visit as many points from a list of specified grid references as possible within a 10 hour period. Which points they visit and the order they visit them is down to each team. Teams can therefore plan and choose how far they will walk.
Each specified grid reference has an associated question, with points awarded for each correct answer given.
The team with the highest points wins.
Entry is £30 per person. Campsite fees and meals are provided on the Friday and Saturday evenings.
In addition an Ordnance Survey map of the area will be provided.
Proceeds from the event will go to support Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team. Registered Charity 511072.
More details and an entry form can be found at www.bowlandchallenge.co.uk
We hope that you will be able to enter a team.
