In reply to crustypunkuk: Thanks for all your input, it is very much appreciated. The distance traveled between all of these routes and the logistics of carrying out the complete challenge really should not see anyone "racing between mountains". The distances are nowhere near as long as those in the standard UK 3 Peak challenge, and should be easily fitted in to any 36 hour period. As stated before, we may well develop a 48 and 72 hour version should there be scope for it.
With regards to controlling hoardes from descending on the routes, when you register with Big Hex, we agree a mutually suitable "window" for your team to make the attempt. This allows us to have control of who will be on the mountain doing Big Hex, and as such control the numbers. It also allows us to inform the local MRT of the anticipated names and numbers at any given time. ALL money goes to MRCofS, every penny. If participants wish wo raise further funds for their favourite charity/organisation, then they are free to do so, so long as they raise the minimum amount for MRCofS.
With regards to ethics on completion times, refer to rule no 9 (below). This is a fun challenge for a good cause and should be entered into in that spirit.
9. All declared times will be taken on the word of each participant and logged as such. However, any participant who is found to have knowingly falsified or concocted completion times will be disqualified from the challenge and forfeit their deposit. This is a challenge for a great cause, not a vessel for advertising your flagging ego. We rely on your honesty.
Thanks again for your input, very much appreciated and always welcome!
