...and Very Important Course Notes!!
Sharpen your machete's and get ready for some high octane thrills around the practical jungle that is Great George. This summers irregular amounts of rain has caused a climate anomaly: a near perfect replication of the amazon rainforest. And guess what, it's right here next to Keswick. Ticks as big as tennis balls. Midges that can strip meat to the bone like air bourn piranhas. Rumor has it there's a household cat that's grown to the size of a hatchback...
But all is not lost to the wilds! We suffered, so that you don't have to. The courses are fast, fierce, and mostly without bushwhacking*.
Come join us for an evening blast around a beautiful place, followed by a pint or two. You know you want to.
*We cannot be held accountable for any bushwhacking you choose to do because of your own masochistic love for it (Looking at you, Jamie.). Watch out for that Cat.
