Our NAV4 course is looming in just four weeks time and there has been a small flurry of interest recently. Tonight, I emailed out 'Final Details' to all those who have booked so far, so they should have details awaiting them. Currently, the course is fully booked with a few people having places pending the receipt of booking forms. Balance payments are now due for everyone. The number of places are limited by space at the Hostel and tutors availability. However, if you wish to be held on a 'reserve list' please email me a booking form - no payment neccessary until a place is offered.
With regard to GL3Day, that is nearly full as well, with a handful of places still open. Naturally, one or two entrants may 'DNS', hopefully by telling me first, so if you want a GL3Day entry send me a form in the normal way., ie entry form and deposit cheque, please.
Finally, The NAV4 Symposium was a highly successful weekend with everyone having a great time and learning loads ... especially that Longsleddale is a hidden gem of a Lakeland Dale.
There is a good report written by Jamie Wilkinson from NFR on http://www.northumberlandfellrunners.org.uk/ Thanks Jamie.
I'm off to Open5 this weekend so won't be in email contact until Monday evening.
Yours,
Joe

Hello from Harris
Just a quick blog to update you on a few things in my absence. I'm currently away from home (and all things IT) as I'm out in The Majestic Outer Hebrides for a week or so. The weather is currently blizzardy hence I'm in Tarbet Community Library.
As some of you might have guessed I'm here regarding The Hebridean Challenge and will be meeting Steph and Gavin later today to discuss this year's race format and route etc. The 2009 Heb promises to be both a year not to miss, and a good year to come for a first visit. More of the detail will follow in due course but (for one year only?) this year the event starts on Skye before heading to Harris and Lewis. Consequently, it will be easier to access and cheaper all round due to simpler ferry logistics. It also means that the Highlights of Harris and Lewis will compliment those of Syke to create an oustanding race.
Quietly run by a small team of volunteers, The Heb is undoubtedly the UK's original and finest Multi-sport, Multi-day race.... it deserves your support and you deserve to savour it. Get your team or pair sorted now and enter very soon.
NAV4 Symposium
There are still places available on our NAV4 Symposium on 14/15th February. Full details are on the website - http://www.joefaulkner.com - so if you want to come along just send me a booking form or email and I will attend to it on my return. The weekend is open to all abilities of 'adventure racer' and their partners and friends. You don't need to take part in a workshop .... using the accommodation as a base from which to do you own activities is OK, too. It will be fun.
Must dash ...
