Tough Guy

No wonder we're losing the battle with attracting new members to orienteering

orienteering is clearly for wimps ideas needed to toughen up the image of the sport...

don't forget to include at least one control hanging from a pylon - good views and added thrills when you reach it

Hold every BOC and Jk on Llyn Elsi perhaps, that will sort out the tough guys from us wimps

a few colleagues are doing tough guy. We're currently taking bets on who will cry first and the most likely to die. I'll be doing fell running and Orienteering instead as even the latter isn't £80 or whatever it costs to enter.

oh, and the summer ToughGuy is run through nettles - so get a poor area and a 'poor' planner, charge £80 and watch your bank balance rocket!
