Weekend Special: The 4 Inns

The 4 Inns is a race/walk (~40 miles) between Holmbridge and Buxton predominantly for Scout groups but also open to the public.

The Lego Mountain Rescue Team joined around one-hundred other teams and followed team 48 'DMRT Venus' around the course for the day and managed to capture some of the events along the way...

With a starting time of 0646 there was a last minute review of the route and then time to get some down time and rest.

Last minute planning the night before 'the off'

Time to get some shut-eye

An early start stocking up on energy for the long day ahead and then checking through the kit.

A good breakfast and a cuppa to start the day.
