This is an adventure based navigation event which takes place at a new venue every year at a different location in The Chiltern Hills. Teams of four have to navigate their way around one of three routes, walking from checkpoint to checkpoint. Walkers have 24 hours to complete either a 50 mile, 50 km or 30 km route. The 30 km route is exclusively for Explorer Scouts.
