Disciplines

Kayaking:  Endurancelife supplies all the kayaking kit and equipment you will need to complete the RBS Adventure Quest.  We have a large fleet of excellent sit on top kayaks which are very user friendly, unsinkable and suited to paddlers of all experience levels.  Solo participants use single kayaks, teams of two use doubles.  It is possible to take part in the event with no prior kayaking experience providing you are physically fit, and can swim confidently; we do however recommend that some prior experience is sought.  The Paddle section may involve up to 5 miles and takes place on a tidal estuary.

Foot Travel: You can run or walk the key is to select suitable footwear and travel at whatever pace is best for your team. you will be on your feet for around 3 hours as you swap between the bike, kayak and your feet; the key is to set a consistent pace that will see you through to the end of the race, as a team.

Mountain Biking: Your bike needs to be robust, not flash. And although we dictate that it must be a mountain bike, there are a number of different road surfaces you will encounter. For technical single-track junkies, there should be some challenging riding sections and for those that don't fancy the berms and bumps, some chicken runs. You will be on green lanes mostly. (If you don't have your own mountain bike we can rent you one from our fleet - by prior arrangement).

Navigation: This is the backbone of the RBS Adventure Quest; the ability to move as a team with map in hand. We use a number of differing styles of mapping and this can prove interesting for even the most seasoned of orienteers. Whilst the navigation underpins the whole Race, it is not designed to catch people out and does not prevent participants with more basic navigation skills from competing or completing the course.

Coasteering: Part scrambling, part swimming this thrilling activity allows you to reach otherwise inaccessible parts of the coast. Routes traverse around the base of cliffs and through sea caves. You will require your own wetsuit for this, but we will provide you with a personal flotation device (PFD) and helmet.

Big Beach BBQ - NOT TO BE MISSED

At Endurancelife we like to celebrate after finishing an event and we always save some energy for the post event festivities, one of the most notable aspects of these kind of events is the fantastic spirit in which everyone competes. The camaraderie generated amongst the competitors and the crew is always a highlight and makes for a memorable post event party and prize giving. We always recommend you stay over an extra night if you can, so that you can relax and revel in the moment.

For the RBS Adventure Quest we are planning a Big Beach BBQ. NOT TO BE MISSED!

If you would like to take part in an event but are unsure about your fitness levels or it’s suitability for you, please give us a call for a chat.

Kayaks

We have a large fleet of quality Sit on Top (SOT) kayaks for use in all of our events. These single and double kayaks are rigid, stable and practically unsinkable. They are supremely well suited to adventure racing and have been specially selected for their good all round performance and portability. If you have limited or even no previous kayaking experience these boats are very simple to master and paddling in a straight line is simple owing to the latest hull designs. Quality paddles and buoyancy aids are also provided.
