Well we helped again at a Challenge Hub event - www.challengehub.co.uk . This time it was the Moonlight Challenge. These events really are something to behold. Held on the North Kent marshes they attract an eclectic mix of people, from the mega serious ultra runners to those who just wish to do something different and challenge themselves to complete as many circuits of the 7.2 mile course as possible. This time the weather was atrocious. Heavy rain before and during the event made the off road sections challenging to say the least. We set the course out and provide the safety vehicle. This year I used our Toyota Land Cruiser which is shod with new 60/40 road/offroad tyres. Perhaps not the best choice of tyre given the ground condition. After the passage off the runners the ground became really chewed up and the Toyota did begin to struggle in a couple of places but engaging centre differential lock soon sortd out any temporary loss of forward motion! Of course wheel spin was a big no no as all it does is churn up the ground and make ruts, it really was a case of tread lightly. Next event is the 24 hour challenge and we'll be there again!
