The Bowland Challenge
The Bowland Challenge is a team competition based on hill walking and navigation held entirely within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The aim of the competition is for teams of 2 to 6 adults to visit as many points from a list of specified grid references as possible within a 10 hour period. Which points they visit and the order they visit them is down to each team. Teams can therefore plan and choose how far they will walk.
Each specified grid reference has an associated question, with points awarded for each correct answer given.
The team with the highest points wins.
Entry is £35 per person.
Proceeds from the event will go to support Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team. Registered Charity 511072.
