[Lo]

That actually looks fun! Although I'm scared of crawling through small spaces! I'm sure I read about someone who died on a course like this though, they drowned in one of the water obstacles

[garth]

I'm quite capable of going and being miserable in the woods near my house - rather than going to the lake district to pay to be shouted at to achieve the same outcome.

Disappointed, thought this forum would have lots of tough cookies

I don't like these training camp things. The only way to train is to train consistently over a period of months, not just spend a couple of days cold, wet and in pain. It won't help and is likely just to end up with you being injured.

Just exercise three times a week, start with gentle warm ups and stretching and then move on to sit ups, press ups, pull ups, etc.

Sounds easy doesn't it?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I've often wondered about doing ' homeless' holidays , so people can scruff it for a week and educate themselves as to the massive national problem of alchohol and heroin abuse , as well as the ever present class politics of the poor etc.......

Would be very enlightening to most , and cheap ,

Very challenging on many levels , not just physical .

I find these things too easy.

I realise theyre a race and therefore there will be people who go a lot quicker than me, but I want a race that very few people finish/struggle to.

Ultramarathons/cycles are much more challenging. Anything which is difficult multiplied by massive distance is much more of a challenge. Too many people who are merely 'fit' are capable of doing these things.

Mrs Silky did the Jurassic Coast Challenge a while back.

Thats 3 marathons in 3 days over muddy fields and hills and stuff.

She was sooo excited about it.
Kinda like this:

I then went to pick her up on the final day.
And she was like this: Not laughed so much in years.

She didnt find my encouraging words of "you stupid muppet" helpful
