Drum roll please! We are delighted to announce that the Grampian Mountain Challenge will be open for business again next year “somewhere in the Grampian Hills & Forests” on October 23rd and 24th.
Entries are planned to open 1st April for pairs or triples (no solo class for safety.)
Dave Kirk will be organising and Ian Hamilton has stepped up as Planner. We’re keen to find an Assistant Planner to help Ian so if you’re interested please contact Dave via Spond or email.
For those new to orienteering, the GMC is a unique two day navigation challenge with both a Light Green forest orienteering section and a mountain marathon style (big features) hill section each day. You only have to carry a day sack with safety equipment and food as your tent and overnight gear is transported to the mid-way campsite for you, where Team GMC traditionally provide you with hot water for drinks, an evening meal and other fringe benefits like beer for a small donation.
Although obviously a competition the emphasis is firmly on being a small, friendly, sociable mountain marathon. Come and join us!
