It was a far more audience friendly event this year, and that zip-line in the work climb added an extra wow factor for sure. A big to all of you competing, and the organisers who made it all tick.

Here's a few shots I posted on the Capel thread as a little taster of this comp, for those who travelled a long way so they could see what they missed. I think the grand finale of the relay team event was a cracking idea, and seemed to pull in the crowds. Top quality event, and one to put into your diaries for next year if you havent been.

Its quite unique in some sences as we start at the bottom of the tree unlike the isa-tcc's which are on much bigger trees and start at the top. The zipline was great fun to do but also very hard work re-connecting at the end of the climb.

Not that im aware of its about the quickest time + best score yes. But mainly you have your own run and your own time is recorded personal goals i think mine was to do it in less than 12mins i did it in 10.04mins so well chuffed.
