Mud and Sweat Winter Series 2012-2013
Press Release / 08.11.2012
This years ‘Mud’ Series, consisting of 3 events, will see us using 3 new and exciting areas. The first and second events will see us venturing on to the outskirts of Dartmoor, whilst the final event is also something not to be missed, as we will be having a combination of off-road rural and urban checkpoints!
2nd December 2012 – The Pre-Christmas Turkey Burner - East Dartmoor (Manaton Area)
10th February 2013 – South Hams and South Dartmoor (South Brent Area)
14th April 2013 – Bristol (Ashton Court Area)
We will have our usual Long (3.5 hours) and Short (2 hours) Score options in which to visit as many checkpoints as possible in order to maximise your score. This year you can enter as a ‘Solo’, ‘Pair’, ‘Family’ and new for the season; ‘Team’. The new ‘Team’ category is open for teams of up to 4 people – so whether it be a group of friends or work colleagues wanting a team bonding experience or a fun and friendly competitive outdoor challenge, this category will hopefully see teams from across the south west fighting it out to be the 2012-2013 ‘Team Mud Champions!’
As with previous years, there will be prizes for the winners in each category, and the results from each event will earn you points in the overall series results too.
The first event in the series starts on the 2nd December, and will be based on Eastern Dartmoor near Manaton. The map will be covering some unique and varied landscapes – from bridleways crossing open moorland through to rural lanes, RUPP’s and wooded areas.
New for this year too, we are planning on starting/finishing each event from a solid base such as a Village Hall (rather that our pop up marquees and gazebo’s). This means a dry area to register, access to toilets and more often than not somewhere to purchase drinks and food and then sit and chat with other competitors about your ride!
