Medal Monday – The Drop
Yesterday my brother, sister-in-law and I took on The Drop.
It's a very different kind of running event. You register at HQ, seal your phone, get given a blindfold, and are driven to a mystery location. Once the blindfold comes off, your challenge is simple: find your way back to HQ. No map. No phone. No GPS watch.
You can choose a 6, 10 or 15-mile drop. As first-timers, we opted for the 6-mile route. We were told, "You'll probably end up covering 7 or 8 miles and be back in 2–3 hours."
Well...
Four hours and 13.3 miles later, we finally made it back! 😂
Overall, it was a brilliant event. I've got a few bits of feedback that I'll send to the organisers, but I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fun, slightly bonkers day out.
Sadly I don't have any photos from the adventure because my phone was safely locked away the whole time!
There is one in Bristol in September but they are all over the country. Would you give it a go?
