For those thinking of coming via train to try and reduce their carbon footprint, then the railway station at Clunderwen is only some 6miles away, or Clarbeston Road. I could try and arrange to pick you up if you’re coming down this way. There has always been free camping the night before and on the night in the vilage hall car park field. Toilets only in the hall, or in the community car park across from the start/finish. 😉 Pub not far either!!! What’s not to like???
Other Beastly Races:
Preseli Dibdab 2 day score event. Sat 21nd/Sun 22nd JUNE 2025. Navigational event, £15 online entry only. Staggered starts, with first runner off at 10.00hrs.The DipDab is a four hour score event, very much like the Brussel Buster. You will be given a pre-marked waterproof map given on start line. You then have to work out a route to get you to as many checkpoints/points as possible in four hours. Various points(also marked on the map) will be given depending on location of checkpoint. ie-The harder to get to checkpoints will be worth more points, etc. 😉 Race start will be announced a week or two before the day, but it’ll be somewhere in North Pembs…..obviously! 😉 You’ll be deducted 10points for every 5 mins you’re over the four hours. However, you can come back in an hour if you so wished. 😉 Overnight camping available, and possibly liquid refreshments!
