Open Adventure Venues

Rob Howard / 27.02.2005

James Thurlow, Race Director of the new Open Adventure series has announced the venues of the first 3 races.

“After considerable thought we have decided to disclose the location for each of the Open5 events”, he said. “The location refers to the event registration and not necessarily the area of competition. Obviously for the majority the event area is on the door step of the registration, however one event this year will require a short cycle to the start.”

He’s put details for the forthcoming event in the Yorkshire Dales onto the website and it’s in the spectacular Swaledale Valley which he promises “is the scene for what will undoubtedly be a challenging event”. Adding, “For anyone new to the Dales, Swaledale promises some real gems with the scenery providing ample excuses to stop and catch a breath.”

The 3 venues announced so far are:

13th March - Yorkshire Dales - Reeth - Memorial Hall
22nd May - South Lakes - Bowness - Windermere Canoe and Kayak
16th October - North Pennines - Blanchard - Village Hall
4th December - Central Lakes - TBC
