hi all

I am looking for some information on  king of the glens winch challenge event on 22nd- 24th may. has anyone been to watch it , is it accessible for spectators or do you need to hike miles into the forest, where is best to park etc etc   . I had a look at website but only got info for king of the valleys [ which looks very well organised for spectating ]. I was hoping to watch it on sat and then do slroc drive day on the sun .

any info would be appreciated shug...

here is the direct info from the U4E website

http://ultra4europe.com/index.php/events/maxxis-king-of-the-glens

we will be making the long trip north to compete with 2 cars in our team, starting to look forward to it,
not sure what there intentions are in regards to spectators but i would expect something similar to KOV where there is a set walk route which picks up different sections of the course
Started out with nothing,
Still have most of it left
