Long Distance Challenges

Some of our members cross between orienteering and fell running. Some notable long distance challenges are The Rankin Round (in the Mournes), the Wicklow Round and The Bob Graham Round (in the Lake District). If you are thinking of tackling any of these challenges the following accounts will be of great interest to you.
