Refuge holiday

Adventure Racing = running/mountain biking + possible canoeing/swimming/abseiling/paddle boarding...... for a long period in the form of a check point scoring race, get round as many checkpoints as fast as possible is a typical race. Did a beginner event of 5hrs a few weeks ago, knackering but rewarding.

As for your cold hands, stick them down your cod piece??

But something like a refuge holiday looks cool. Thinking about doing the coast2coast myself (both ways), run one way and cycle back (still to decide whether to do the cycle on or off road).

That doesn't sound like fun to me!!

Yeah, a bad place to put your cold hands really.

I need a holiday to recharge my batteries and close my mind to mental and physical things. When I go abroad I slob out on a beach with a good book for half a day then go exploring the local non-touristy sights, looking for good local restaurants that don't serve any English food at all.

I know exactly what you mean! I love to do hoilday's where you do something - I went to Lanzo one year & learned to surf for a week, met some great people. Another time I did a Survival School weekend in January (it was freezing), another time I joined the TA for a weekend & blew some stuff up in Salisbury Plain (free trip/transport/food/sleeping!!!).

My worst holiday was to "Zante" in Greece - my fault, it was all I could afford & I *assumed* that there would be ruins & amphitheatres all over the place. Instead I dfound lobster red brits eating egg & chips & being absolutely wasted. For a week it was the longest holiday in my life.

Can do the beach thing but only if there are waves, a suitable hire shop & preferably some decent walks.
If that still counts.
