TIREE WAVE CLASSIC COMPETITORS
You are welcome to pre-enter the Coll Challenge. However, if conditions are ‘going off’ with a poor forecast for the rest of the week, the Wave Classic will be run. At this point, you will be refunded your £35 entry fee and be competing all day instead.
However, if the Wave Classic is NOT running on that Tuesday and you go for the Coll Challenge you will be able to stay over on Coll and get the 0840 ferry back in the morning, landing on Tiree at 0940. We will make sure that you have enough time to get your gear and arrive at the correct beach should Wednesday be a competition day. Heats will not start without you – we promise!
Notes:
We encourage you to bring your own mountain bike, however please speak with Andy Groom if you can’t get one to Tiree (07711 909 077)
Your bike + dry clothes etc need to be handed over to the Event Crew on the evening of Sunday 12th at the Coll Challenge registration in An Talla village hall so they can be taken over to Coll.
REMEMBER YOU MUST PRE-ENTER BY FRIDAY 3rd OCT: [email protected]
