AR is a great way to have a holiday in exotic locations whilst seeing places that even the locals rarely see.
It is also an awesome sport that anyone can take part in and inspires people to get out, exercise and have fun.
My aim is to compete in as many races as possible over the next few years.
[sadly nigel passed away in 2004 during Primal Quest taking part in an sport he loved with a team of friends and fellow competitiors he loved just as much, he will be sadly missed by the AR community and by all the other people who Nige undoubtedly came in contact with during his 38 years - Steve Cooper, Editor SleepMonsters Australia]
