BCNS 24 hour Marathon Challenge 2016

Start planning your routes now - start anywhere on the BCN that you wish, and finish at Hawne Basin at 14:00 on the Sunday.

 

The event is open to everyone with a boat licensed for use on British Waterways canals. Historic working boats and pairs are welcome.

 

A friendly competition, starting at 08:00 on 28 May, wherever on the BCNS you want to start, and finishing at 14:00 on 29 May at Hawne Basin with a compulsory 6 hours rest.

 

The winner is determined by a point system, with extra points for full length boats, buttes, small crews, cruising the lesser traveled parts of the BCN.

Oh, you clearly knew what you were supposed to be doing - and with great style too

 

Richard

Nope, I'm wrong. The date and poster is available

Are you coming slumming it on the BCN again, Nick?

Richard

Just discussing it with Jeff, not sure yet but it's noted in the diary. Jeff is not in the mood to make a descision right now as he was 2 hrs late home from work due a patient nearly bleeding to death!

We are considering being radical and WALKING the Challenge this year - limbering up for a walking holiday a few weeks later, and just to do something different.

 

As the Challenge is an awareness-raising event as much as anything I've often thought it'd be good to get other user groups involved. Ramblers/Nordic walkers associations are an obvious one. Cyclists and canoeists - well, if they behave themselves! Different scoring systems obviously, but what does the team think about spreading the word?

If you can pick any point on the BCN to start at 8 am how is it verified that you started at that point at 8 am?

You can easily cheat if you want to. Why would you want to?

As in at start and end of each scoring segment. Or that's how it was 2 yrs ago.

Yes. You see, Nick, we both had the sneaky advantage of reading what we were supposed to do at the beginning, not the end

I do know, I was being flippant as my recording over the past 2 years could be discribed as slapdash.

It's sorta one of the reasons I'm looking to crew this time round, I fancy being on a serious team and aim for a place this time round
