When I try chasing the dragon, I usually buy a good bit of opium from the lad down the road, and just sit back and chill....none of this running biz

Just a quick general question re: Dragons Back Race. Is there an experience requirement check for the 60 drawn places?
If there isn't there ought to be :closed:Originally Posted by that_fjell_guy
Moley is spot on in his post in my opinion btw

Yes, it will be very rigorous. At the Q+A after the premier Shane said he had set aside 3 and a half WEEKS to vet applications!
He is another who likes to do things properly :-)
Thats what I was thinking DT. IanFitz too. Its possible with a lot of specific training I guess, and its hard when the OP doesn't really give much detail of 'experience' but makes it sound very limited!?
Wasn't Moley a volunteer on it last year? He will have indept first hand knowledge about what it was like.
Ah! That'll be my mates entry in the bin then I think! He's another 'blinkered optimist', which isn't necessarily a bad thing until it gets him in bother up a fell somewhere!! :thunbdown:

Well, I thought it was funny TurboTom.
Just to put something into the thread. Considering where your based, I'd get onto a plane for a training week to some decent European mountains, Pyrenees or the Alps would be my choice.
Worth building into a long term plan in my opinion. A haul up a 3000ft high mountain don't seem so big if you've trained on hauls over 3000m mountains.
I was thinking about general 'toughening up' rather than specifically for the Dragon's Back, but you're right I think
