Hywel Davies' Ultimate Training Weekend

I am becoming involved on organising series of weekends entitled the ultimate training weekend. The weekends will be based at first in South wales then including the Brecon Beacons. The first weekend is sheduled to be on 4th Jan 2002 to work of the Xmas pounds and kickstart the training for events like Tough Guy and give some tips for people
getting involved in adventure racing. However, anyone can enjoy the training whether involved in competition or not.

Hopefully I will be assisted by Legendary Tough Guy and Adventure Racer Aled Rees as if my crudentials were not enough. The first weekend will be mainly running and biking.
