Bogle
For anyone wanting a fitness challenge, Bogle is the way to go. Walking 55 miles around Manchester over 24 hours is not for the faint hearted or the weak soled. Both a physical and mental challenge, Bogle is a part of Manchester history, with it entering its 50th year.

Lost
What will you do when you get Lost?
Lost is the chance for people with a sense of adventure to try something a bit different. Lost is essentially a backwards Jailbreak, get dropped in a mystery location in the UK and try to get home again in 24 hours… Think that sounds easy? We’ve added in a scavenger hunt in that city and on the journey to spice things up a bit.
Event date: 14th April 2012
More details coming soon.
