TyronLab Posted August 3, 2023 Share Has anyone here done this before? I'm keen to give it a bash, solo category. Just want to get an idea of what the layout/logistics is like for planning purposes. If there's food available, what's on offer and is it throughout the whole 24 hours or just select times? How much camping space is there / what are the odds of not getting a spot?
