Swedish Classic

En svensk klassiker, Swedish classic circuit, is a diploma awarded to those who have finished races in four races disciplines (cross country skiing, cycling, swimming and cross country running) during a 12-month period. The diploma was first awarded in 1972.Thousands of people, mostly Swedes, take part in all four each year and receive the Swedish Classic Circuit award. More than 28,000 people (more than 4,500 women) have achieved this.

I'm interested in trying to achieve this in 2017 and am looking for other interested people to get a travel/training group together!Check out the race details and locations online and if it appeals to you get in touch! I'm an amateur triathlete but have never touched a pair of cross country skis!

Ski Trip to Tignes (6th - 14th March 2015)

Hi Everyone,

Not so much an adventure but an annual ski trip. Have had a friend drop out for family reasons. Just wondered if anyone fancied filling the spot? The resort is Tignes in the Alps, and the ski area is the Espace Killy (Absolutely awesome ski area!).

Drop me an email or message if you are.

Cheers,

Aaron

Trans American Trail Motorcycle Tour

Hi, I am planning to do the TAT (Trans American Trail) in June/July 2015. I am a UK resident but will be exporting my own BMW G650GS Sertao motorcycle for the tour. I am looking to make a documentary about the tour and would be looking for a support rider/riders. No experience necessary just will and determination and your own adventure motorcycle will suffice. But if you have photographic/filming experience all the better.I will be prepping for my trip from a friends house in Massachusetts, before heading off to Tennessee, for navigation I will beusing GPS with maps from the TAT website. I expect the journey to take 4-6 weeks. I could go on, but this is the basic plan if you have any question please ask. This is an unpaid position and you will be expected to pay for accommodation/food/camping equipment and fuel yourself.

Best options for solo trekking in South Africa?

Hello.

I'm going to South Africa from the UK in a few weeks and am trying to work out the best location for solo trekking where it is either permissible (or at least where I can get away with it) and with sleeping huts so I don't need to carry a tent. I'm looking for a challenging hike but one which is feasible solo, ideally with some form of trail marking but that's not a must. I don't want to use a guide or join a group if it can be avoided. Ill be travelling from JoBurg, where Ill be for work in the previous week. I've trekked solo in tons of places like Nepal, New Zealand, Peruvian Andes, Mont Blanc so I'm comfortable alone, but I'm not super hard core and I'm female so somewhere which is relatively safe in that respect is a must. I've trekked (with a guide) in the Drakensburg which was perfect but red tape says solo trekking isn't allowed. Has anyone done so anyway and is there anything stopping me other than lack of hut reservation? Trail possibilities I've looked at are Giants Cup (ideal but cant book as solo trekker - can I work around this?) Tsistikamma (I'm not keen on apparently lots of river crossings)and Amatola. Has anyone done any of these trails? Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks,

Yvette.

#ChapeauCycle across France

In 2014 I cycled 5,000 miles across Brazil to visit all 12 of the World Cup football stadiums before the tournament kicked off - it was an amazing way to explore and discover sucha diverse country as it prepared to host this huge event:http://smudgersambacycle.org/When it was over the obvious question became... whats next?Well, Id love to see more of Europe and particularly France, and the next European Championships is being held there (10 June to 10 July 2016), so Im gonna cycle to visit all 10 of the stadiums/cities during May 2016:http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-finals/hosts/france/Heres thebasic route map:http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/Le_Tour_des_Stades/SocEntSycle

Wanna join me for some or all of it?The total distance (starting from London) will be about 1,000 miles, which at a steady pace(ie. touring not racing!)will take about a month, including 1-2 day stops in each host city to look around and visit the stadiums. I plan to camp as much as possible in order to keep costs down, but stay in hostels/BBs or maybe Couchsurf in the cities.I appreciate its probablytricky for peopleto commit to doing the whole thing, so maybe the London to Paris (via Lens and Lille) segment, or the Bordeaux to Nice (via Toulouse and Marseille) segment might appeal to come and join mefor part of the adventure.Ill be blogging via the#ChapeauCyclewebsite (not set up yet) and will be aiming to raise lots of money for a couple of charities(not chosen yet), so the more participants the better to spread the word and turn this into a great story that we can get into the media for coverage. Any ideas/suggestions on that front are very welcome.Allezallezallez!Cheers, Andy
