Fed up with the same old exercise routine?

Fancy a brand new challenge?

Fancy seeing how others compare?

Must maintain your Strava Stats?

Solve all these vexed questions today.

"How so?" I hear you say, repeating a line immortalised by Helen Skelton, conqueror of the South Pole, during Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins; the torture episode.

And here are the answers. There is no need to trek to the South Pole, although it must be relatively easy to do navigation wise: one bearing, straight-line route, and the job’s a good 'un. No need to join up to the Military with oaths and suchlike. No need for torture. Ugh. This is about fun I tell you. All you have to do is download the MapRunF App ( Android or Apple), visit the Navvies website, choose a challenge, and do it.

The Postbox Challenges are a good place to start. These are Score Events where the object is to visit as many Postboxes as you can in an hour. Choose any Postbox on a course as your Start. (MapRunF can cope with this). And off you go.

Or go back to the future and find your way round Altrincham on a Victorian map drawn in 1899. Another Score. Think of the improvement you will make to your Town and Country Planning awareness quotient!

Or revisit an NSL classic. All described at Navvies.

Introductory Prize!

I will personally hand craft a Postbox Challenge centred at a location of their choice to the first person who sends me a postcard sent whilst running an existing Postbox Challenge. My address is 28 Sunny Bank Road, WA14 3PW.

Fine print: I must be able to verify via MapRun Results that a Postbox Challenge has been attempted.
