The event was well organised & the choice of venue good, I love Salcey Forest; however there are a few hazards & unfortunately I did trip on quite big stones, luckily I was able to get up & carry on but I had badly cut hands and arms. I felt the first aid was a little lacking ...

I took part in the Elephant Challenge with my dog. This was our first ever event. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well organised, everyone was very friendly and we really liked the trail. We will definitely be taking part in another event.

First time I have attended a six hour event, managed to run my longest distance, so feel good with the achievement. I will be doing one again :)
