Llyn Elsi (Wales)

Our dear friend Becky Carlyle wants to contribute to the list of 101 maps you SHOULDN'T run on before you die.

She has tell us her experience:

It's Llyn Elsi in wales, and it's the area that nightmares are made of!

The map looks kind of green. The trees are so close together that barely any daylight breaks through. And then when the trees are maked as white, the brambles are so high that you can barely move. A bit like this:

I went there on a training weekend ten years ago when i was at school, and one guy from our squad cut his shin to the bone on a super sharp rock. Then the day after I had a swimming lesson, and my legs were so covered in scratches that my teacher thought my parents were abusing me. xD

Therefore Llyn Elsi is a map not to run on before you die !

Thank you Becky...

Coming soon "La Carcama" (Spain)

Catalina State Park in Arizona, USA

Today we have recived a cool email from Cristina. There was a very interesting things for this blog and then, Antonio and me decided to recover this blog. We'll try to keep it active


The map Cristina spoke is Catalina State Park and seems to be one of the best "101mapsyoushouldntrun". As Cristina said, we don't need too much reasons for convince you that running there could be "amazing".
This is the map. Take a look at.

(notes from Cristina) 


The reasons to running here are:
1-want to die.
2-Love at snakes.
3-Love at cactus and dried plants.


And the reasons to not running here are:
1-You must to be very concentrated in the "variety of elements" and microrelief you′ll find in the map, also be carefull in no to deviate because of any nest of snakes that can make you lose your direction and be lost in the middle of nothing, next to a cactus, crying and bleeding because a snakebite.

I think the pictures speak for themselves.

This is "white" on the map

A good control point
