Route Recce done

posted Jun 27, 2010 8:48 AM by Robin Maddex

Thanks to all the team who where out on the moor this weekend in blistering sunshine doing a recce of the route. We are now happy with the route across the moor and would consider it to be a good challenge for most and quite 'do-able' for the average person, certainly enjoyable for all.

posted Jun 27, 2010 8:46 AM by Robin Maddex
