  • I have entered the Wild West Country which is 800km:

    It’s my first multi-day event like this. I have done JOGLE over 8 days but on that we had a defined start/end of the day with prebooked accommodation. Obviously on this kind of event it’s all up in the air.

    As a beginner for this kind of thing, any tips for the sleep/rest aspect? I’m looking to finish, not compete, so I’m leaning towards trying to stay in a hotel at least one night and then bivvy one night as a bit of a gentler intro to ultras.

  • I did this one this year. Absolutely superb route, and a really well organised event.

    I decided to use airbnbs, and sleep better and travel lighter. I did it in 60hrs something with two sleeps.
    Because its not that long a route, I figured it was silly doing one night bivvy and one night in a hotel, because you're just carrying a load more kit just for the sake of 3 hours tossing and turning/sleeping. Either bivvy both nights or hotel both nights would be my advice.
    Have fun!!!
