Here's a report from one Irish man who did though, and what a report: http://eoinkeith.wordpress.com/2012/09/ ... ing-there/
Picture the scene, MTBing, Hiking, Kayaking and more in the remote French Alps on an 8 day adventure race grabbing a few hours sleep under the stars here and there when you can. MTBing down narrow mountain trails at night by torch with a sheer drop to one side, an 8 hour kayak down river, canyoning, abseiling, hiking across a glacier etc
It's a long long race, and an appropriately long race report, fantastic stuff
It's after getting me googling all kinds of quare races for next year, hopefully the itch will wear off over a long winter!!
