AMCB weekend at Boxtel (The Netherlands)

October 29, 30 and 31, 2004 - For the AMCB we organised a mushing and hiking weekend in Boxtel. Although not that many teams were present (also due to a race that same weekend at the E3 beach near Eindhoven (NL), everyone had a good time and the trail was beatiful. Conclusion: the event was a lot of work but turned out to be a succes.

Below is the program that we worked out:
