Best Time (Current Route): 4 hours 59 minutes, 2004, 1st St Leonards Forest Powell

2008 Winners : 4th Uckfield - 4 hours 42 minutes - NEW RECORD

This class is for teams of 4, all under 15, with a minimum combined age of 48 (Scouts) - Male, Female or mixed teams. We would recommend a minimum age of 10½ for this class.

Each member of the team will walk an average of 19 miles in 2 stints with a rest in between.

The route is from BIGNOR HILL to DEVIL'S DYKE approximately 25 miles.

The team must consist of four persons to a team but only three are required to hike at any one time - the fourth member being transported by the Service Crew with the facility to change a team member at each of the Service Areas.

IT IS EXPECTED THAT TEAMS WILL HAVE HAD SUITABLE TRAINING AND PREPARATION FOR THE HIKE, AND THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PHYSICALLY FIT.

Three team members must book in at ALL Checkpoints and the complete team, i.e. 4 members, at ALL Service areas. Failure to do this will automatically disqualify the team.

The winning team will be the one that completes the full distance in the shortest time. This is a race event, and is not intended to be a map reading test. However, good map reading skills are essential in case of bad weather or an unexpected diversion (i.e. if you get lost!).

The winners will be presented with the Long Man trophy.

The team must comply with the rules regarding clothing and equipment at all times.

Teams may start from Bignor Hill between 0800 and 1200 hours and have 16 hours from their start time to complete the hike.
