Has anyone had experiences of trips with PWT, or know more about this 5+5 Sicily event, other than what is on the website?
http://www.orienteering.it/public/bulle ... 140005.pdf
Is the event a separate event anyone can enter, or do you have to go through PWT?
Also welcome anyones knowledge of Sicily the island as a destination.

Re: Sicily Five + five
Tony,
PWT Italy is a spin off from PWT (Norway) and it is run by a guy called Gabriele Viale who organises orienteering in Italy outside the authority of FISO (the BOF equivalent here).
As PWT is commercially driven you will probably have to enter via PWT and there is an extra charge if you don't book travel with them. Viale normally gets experienced orienteers in to plan the events. I helped them out a bit at the recent Mediterranean Open, which was excellently planned by, Stefano Zarfati, a clubmate of mine here and saw the likes of Sarah R, Tess H, Murray S and Scott F competing along with Lysell, Osterbò and the top Swiss Girls - they had no complaints.
In Italy the information always comes out at the last minute so don't expect much more than is on the website. I expect PWT Norway will bring a bus load or 2 of Scandi's to the event and the terrain and maps are reportedly good.
I am intending to go to Scily for both 5 days and if you want to PM me your email I can connect you with Viale and/or his efficient assistant Julia Zenere.
