Guest Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Fancy a challenge? Willow, Akey and I are organising a beetle drive. For those that don't know, its a bit like a treasure hunt, but on your bike!!You'll get some clues to guide you round our route and there will many challenges and tasks to complete on the way!!Willow and Akey have kindly offered their camping facilities again, and have promised to book good weather....So those that wish to stay either Friday or Saturday night or both can...The 'Beetle Drive' itself should take around 3 hours to complete. If you decide to attend on the day, then allow time take part.As it stands, and depending on attendance, it is likely competitors will be sent off in batches .... Wouldn't want you following each other do we .. If you wish to attempt it on your own, you can. Alternatively small teams can attempt it. Ideally, first teams should be off mid-morning ish. But we have no deadline as such .. yet.Akey and I will be roving Marshalls. We can both be contacted by phone whilst riding, so when you get lost... or give up... we can come get ya!!! Obviously... by contacting a Marshall .... you fail!!Anyhoo, I'll update with any new info. If ya interested, reply to this thread!!!EDIT#1 : You will require a camera (or camera phone), and a small bag..... Quote

Guest Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Oooo forgot to mention there'll be prizes for the teams that come first, second and third. More the merrier.Each team will be made up of no more than 4 people but you can ride on ur own if you wish. There'll be a 20 minute gap in between each team leaving the start point and a penalty given to any team coming back before 2 hrs 45 mins as this isn't about speed...it's about collecting information and doing tasks to build up your points...and wot do points make boys and girls?????PRIZES!!!!!!

Guest Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Hoping to do both this and the olympics - if I can I'll be camping (both days) as my b'day on the next Sunday. Only thing that may stop me is a mate (and his better half) both have birthdays around the same time and we were talking about maybe having a joint party but I've got a feeling it may end up the week before as that's the weekend my mates better half turns 50 Will keep you posted Quote

I'm quite happy to do it on my own or to be part of a team if anyone needs to make the numbers up? Beter bring my Sherlock Holmes deerstalker and magnifying glass to look for the clues.... Quote
