Wondering what happened to the On The Hill boys and Team The North
Face in last week's Adrenalin Rush?
Well, judging by the race report on the Arenalin Rush site, things
all got very torrid with the help of a river in spate which washed

Hill editor Stev Duffy caught his leg between some boulders and...
Well, the good news is that Steve should be telling you exactly what
happened on the site later on today.
The event, which included an ascent of Curved Ridge along with a
lot of other, erm, challenging stages was eventually won later on
Thursday night by Team 9feet.com with Team UKatak.com coming second
and Hellman Moritz 3rd.
Sounds like the event lived up to its reputation as Europe's most
challenging adventure race - 'Tops but hard'was Mr Duffy's snap
assessment.
