Great day
A brilliantly organised day that was so much fun. Friendly atmosphere from the moment we arrived and throughout the event from both Wane and the other 'Dropsters'...and even the weather was kind!!
Thanks so much, David! Delighted you enjoyed the day and felt the atmosphere from start to finish — that’s exactly what The Drop is all about. Great to hear you thought it was beginner-friendly too, we’re big believers in making the challenge open to everyone. Glad the weather played ball for once as well! Hope to see you back on another mission soon.
Great fun !
Other than getting dropped off at a massive sign saying welcome to Bothwell ( which was funny) it was great .
Noted on the webpage 2 toilets at the start should be updated as just 1 , maybe consider a megaphone at the start or microphone as it was a large crowd incase anything got missed . Friendly organisers and excellent quality running number , everything was perfect at registration and end , great tracker , would be interesting to add another box to the spreadsheet to show total miles done for each individual and a note of quickest route achieved . Genuinely though fantastic event
Thanks so much, Denise! Brilliant to hear you had great fun and enjoyed the atmosphere — that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. You’re right, the “Welcome to Bothwell” sign gave a few people a laugh (though we’ll keep working on sneakier Drop points for next time!). Thanks also for the helpful suggestions. We’ll update the toilet info on the webpage to avoid confusion, and we’ll look at better ways of making sure the briefing carries to larger crowds. Love the idea about adding mileage totals and quickest routes to the spreadsheet too — that could be a fun extra stat for Dropsters to compare. Really glad you rated the organisation and registration, and that the tracker worked well for you. Hope to see you back on another mission soon!
A good laugh
Drop of in a country park or a more secluded area. Check each participating person has sealed there bag as they are boarding the bus to depart.
Thanks for joining us, Ashleigh! We’re really pleased you had a good laugh and rated the organisation highly. Great point on bag checks — we do spot-checks already, but we’ll take your suggestion on board to tighten this up further. As for the Drop locations, we like to mix things up between city and countryside, but we’ll definitely keep your thoughts in mind for future events. Hope to see you on another mission soon!
Too easy this year
Took our blindfolds off to be greeted with a massive sign saying “Bothwell”. Poor choice of drop off point which took an awful lot of the fun out of the race. Pretty much able to straight line it all the way back to Ocho.
Thanks for the feedback, Paul. Sorry to hear you found this year’s Drop a bit too straightforward — the challenge definitely varies depending on the location. Sometimes we strike gold with a tricky spot, other times it can be a bit more obvious. We’ll take your point on board about the signage at the Drop point and look at how we can keep things more discreet in future to keep the element of mystery alive. Really glad you still enjoyed the atmosphere and found it beginner-friendly. Hope you’ll join us again for another mission — we’ve got plenty of trickier Drops lined up!
Great race you can make it different for yourself n take it off road like we did or go direct
Cheers, Brian! Spot on — that’s the beauty of The Drop, you can choose your own adventure. Whether you head off-road like you did, or go for the direct line, it’s all part of the challenge. Really glad you enjoyed the race and thanks for the great feedback on organisation. Hope to see you back for another Drop soon!
Good overall event
Only one toilet at the registration point which resulted in a very long queue of people holding up a toilet in a cafe that had customers also wanting to use the toilet. Drop of point was way too clear and obvious a location but it made it nice and easy.
Thanks for the honest feedback, Gavin. Really pleased you enjoyed the event overall and found it beginner-friendly. We hear you on the toilet situation — we’ll look at ways to improve facilities where we can. Just as a reminder though, we do include details like toilets, facilities, and logistics in the pre-event emails, so it’s always worth giving them a careful read to make sure you’re fully prepped on the day. As for the Drop point, sometimes they’re sneakier than others, but that’s all part of keeping it fresh! Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope to see you back for another mission.
Great event, well organised and fun
Thanks so much, Karen! Brilliant to hear you found it well organised and fun — that’s exactly what we aim for. Great atmosphere makes all the difference, and we’re glad you felt it. Hope we’ll see you back for another Drop mission soon!
