Arctic Racers Training Weekend

Up early & down to Wales ..... Ogmore By The Sea, for a weekend of serious training. It's only 12 weeks until the Polar Race!

Putting the tents up by 10.00am, in the grounds of Ogmore Castle, then a quick hike round to some local sand dunes. Our first task was to run up and down a very steep dune in teams of three or four roped together. Not once or Twice, but five times! At the top of the dune on my second run, I seriously thought I would lose my breakfast!

After a quick break for lunch, we then spent the rest of the day light hours trekking across the Welsh countryside, doing a 10 miles circuit. We finished with afternoon tea (£1.40 / person!) at Ogmore Farm Tea rooms ... highly recommend!

We had dinner in the pub great lamb shanks! the early to bed!
