The BlueSky Challenge - Potential Race Stages

Below is an overview of past event stages that we have incorporated into the BlueSky Challenge.  The course stages will not be finalised until at least 2 months prior to the event, but will definitely include mountain biking orienteering and many of the other activities mentioned below:

Mountain biking: This will be your main mode of transport for the majority of the day.  BlueSky Experiences HQ is a world-class mountain biking venue and we have planned some exceptional trails that will take you through some breathtaking terrain. We will also have some exhilarating downhill sections to test the best mountain bikers that wish to push themselves to the max, while also being forgiving to the less experienced biker. It has been constructed to challenge you at all levels of expertise!

Orienteering: Teams will need to complete an orienteering course on foot that will involve locating control points on land using different features. Time to brush up on those map reading skills!

Secret disciplines: This is time to use some brainpower, instead of leg power! These challenges are devised to benefit the accurate and sharp teams and cannot be rushed. No more to be said or the secret will be out.

Water Based Activities: In the past these activities have ranged from boogie boarding or kayaking down a stretch of river to crossing a loch to a secret checkpoint with only inflated inner tubes to keep you afloat! 

More adventurous water based activities have included underwater orienteering and river swims!!

Rope Work Activities: Could range from tree climbs, zip wires, abseiling and tyrolean gorge crossings.
