Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No chance on the red munnki, will definately be finding an event without a red course going and with some nice technical boulder-fields or summat, can't have you being able to run now can we? I'd never win.

Yeah MX, I'm just a desperate blog-pimp :P

Thought about doing some as i fancy doing more fells and mountain marathons. Vaguely remember doing some as a scout in Germany as a kid(and getting lost in the hills around Koblenz) but i've forgoten most of it.There has been idiots guides to getting started on various stuff like garmins (ian M has posted some very helpful stuf). Is it possible for any of you more experienced peeps to share some basic knowledge so we don't look to stupid on our first attempt.

*Thinks* Can't do it now... but I will have a think and do it soon, no problems. Its alright anyway, you won't look stupid because 1, events are always very beginner-friendly (in my experience anyway) and 2, if you get lost noone can see you getting lost because you're on your own in a forest/moorland/whereever and there may be people around you but they may all be doing different courses and minding there own business.

Noone will point and laugh at you. :) I will try to think of some idiots guide type stuff though.
