Fyre festival was my thought when I read about it, aussiescall! Seems like total madness to me, but I'm sure they'll be some willing to part with the ridiculous money. DT - 'I’d need 7 months to get over being shafted to the tune of 15 grand' :D I checked the route: hardly the most inspiring or challenging, for example, why grind up the Glen Etive road and down the WHW when you could go up and over the Etive Munros and the Black Mount? But I guess challenging isn't really the point of it

It seems to be aimed at anyone with loads of money who is in the slightest bit fit, not really at current ultra runners :- "If you can jog for 30minutes, complete a local parkrun or cycle for an hour, we’re confident you can become a Highland King." |

Its the ‘king’ that really annoys me, then again to be even more sexist maybe they thought potential queens have more sense

I’ve just signed up for the Crossing of Dartmoor. It’s only 36 miles so I might be in the wrong forum but wanted to share anyway
