The Best Trail/Orienteering race in the area.
The great thing about this race is that you can make it as hard or as easy as you want, but either way you will have a great time and the views are great. Not to mention the free beer afterwards and a great live band and party. Bring on next year.

Best way to have massive fun whilst vertical.
Never has so much fun been had by so many in so short a time. Support, organisation, catering, facilities and free beer all exemplary.

Outstanding - trail events just don't get better than this.
In it's second year and gathering popularity. Something for everyone - from fast hashers to families and walkers. Some fabulous scenery including moorland, mine workings and woodland - no shortage of hills, and one big party in the evening. Great - my team will be back next year!

Running, summer sunshine
Running, summer sunshine, the Mendips, great beer, lovely company and a fund raiser as well. Thanks to Martin and Co again.. Thanks

Brilliant
...though I have learnt lessons for next time.

Great
Stunningly well organised and terrific day out

Fun, fun, fun!
Interesting and varied territory - wish we'd stayed for the beer and BBQ, but we will in 2010!
Obviously loads of hard work has gone into organising this event and it made it a great day out! Consciencious route markings and teasingly located flags to track down meant some thought required as well as running a good distance (3 hours). Bit of a shame that some cheeky devil nicked one of the flags - but that's folk for you!

Great running followed by a great party.
With 1,2 or 3 hour options either walking or running this event is suitable for all fitness levels and great for families too. Atmosphere was really friendly and plenty more fun to be had in the evening if you stay on for the beer and bands. Organisation was excellent, well done and thanks Martin and team. We'll be back next year.

Thanks
Just to say thanks for a great afternoons sport. Will certainly be back next year if I am free that weekend and will recommend to the rest of Poole Runners and the local orienteering clubs.

Nothing but feelgood
This was my first time doing this event (3 hour run) and loved every crazy minutes of it. From the start when I was the only one heading in the direction I had planed then finding myself going the "wrong way" round the course (the best laid plans of mice and men) to my crazy stumble to get home "only" 30 minutes late because I had got seriously lost and started exploring off the map - well D'OH. The weather was superb and I suspect this would be a very different event if it had rained during the previous week or on the day. Everyone was most welcoming and the fact that it is a charitable fund raiser just adds to the sense that this is an event that has got it right. Well worth missing the Loins game for!!!

Scope for all
Hashing-type race with scope for all from walkers to 3-hr endurance racers. Great fun, great beer and a lovely campsite. An excellent weekend!

A great event and fantastic day out for the family.
What can I say other than this was one of the best events that I have ever taken part in. Fun was the essence of the day (and night) and it was there in bucket loads. Running through the Mendips looking for marker flags (pity some toe-rag nicked #2) and trying to beat the clock.

Fun Fun Fun!!!
What a crackin' event...3, 2 or 1 hour options..basically I ran about for 3 hours with an easy to follow map (Hmmmm..until you get to the red flags!!)...and find flags..easy? I'll leave that for you to decide. Mendip hills are beautiful..camping at the end of race, overnight stay and a race supper, a great way to spend 24 hrs. NOTE: This race is described as trail which is correct but they appear to have missed out that some of the flags are in the middle of fields!..Flag 21 and 17 comes to mind (twisted ankle!)...but..this just added to the fun.
