This years toughest job is taken on by Marc, who’s organisational skills will be put to the test as he attempts to support Malc and Rich to get round this years Trans Alp. Those of you that know Rich and Malc’s laid back approach to these sorts of events may well be concerned that this may be a stretch too far for Marc. The question is who will break first? Will laid back give way to the tight schedule?

1. No blackberry reception
2. Dramatic scenery
3. 300 other nutters
4. 15,000 vertical metres of down hill
5. No washing up
6. 8 chilled days
7. 8 fantastic towns
8. Good company
9. A great Vibe
10. And just because its there to be done

It might not be a good idea to get team Hoof Hearted excited about the start of the 2013 Goretex Transalpine Run. One week away and already Malc is having to sleep with the windows open!
