    I'm a past "victim" of the AON. I strongly recommend you do it, it's a great event, a real tester of your inner strength.

    It's important to do the recce's of Checkpoint 1 to 2 and CP2 to the finish.

    You can enter the Ultra and then when you get to CP1 revert to the Hybrid. If you do the recce's, can read a map and trust yourself you will be fine with the Ultra.

    There's an info evening about a week before which is very helpful.

    Many thanks....
    Was up around Kippure area cycling recently and turned off my light to get a feel for it...
    Is it dark!!:D

    Anybody know of any hiking groups doing the route the weekend before? I know groups do this each year. I'm not suggesting going the same weekend as the official event.

    One or two hiking clubs organise their own Art O'Neill Challenge a week before or after the official one. Here's one from a few years ago:

    I'd be interested in going at midnight on Friday the 5th of January. Is it possible to get a bus near Glenmalure lodge the following day?

    Are entries transfered if the person can't take part?
