Myself and my partner have signed up for the Mourne Mountain Marathon Challenge in September. We completed Mountain Skills 1 and 2 courses in January and are confident in our navigation skills. But how does one choose to go through or around rivers, peat hags, scree fields or steep ground in a race scenario? Has anyone got experience with the MMM or navigating during one of these types of races? Any tips welcome!
