Mud and Sweat run Mountain Biking Adventure Events throughout the UK. Our events combine off-road mountain biking with the skill of navigating, for fast and fun adventure.
Our next event is being held at Haldon Forest, Exeter, Devon on the 29th November 2009.
The event is open to Solo's, Pairs and Families. There are 3 classes of event - Short Score (2 Hours), Long Score (3.5 Hours) and Family Score (1 Hour).  Participants will be given a pre-marked waterproof map, with all the checkpoints marked on it (each checkpoint has differing values), they must then navigate their way around as many of the checkpoints as possible within a time limit. The aim is to get the highest score possible. The event will be held primariily in Haldon Forest, annd the surrounding and open countryside that contain a good network of tracks and paths, providing a variety of route choices. We  will be using a Sportident timing system which allows us to create events that allows competitors to create strategies and plan. We don’t do lap after lap races or follow a set course. These are very much the thinking persons event where both brain and brawn are required.
Mud and Sweat provide the maps, safety and event support and the electronic timing equipment .... All you need to compete is a working bike, helmet, compass and sense of fun and adventure to work up a bit of Mud and Sweat! There are prizes for the winners in each class/category, and spot prizes for the muddiest and sweatiest!!  The event is being kindly supported/sponsored by Cotswold - all participants will recieve a Cotswold discount voucher at the event. Please download an Entry Form from the website www.mudandsweat.com and send it in to us.
