I've done it for the last few years, it's a good theme for a weekend of rough camping and there are usually a few special interest groups that develop via FB... Ridiculous cooking and BOTA (Bashas On The Air) being two that I've dipped my toe in. My problem this year is going to be asking my peer group for sponsorship. A lot of early retirements amongst my chums, and an unfortunate number of 'cash in lieu of flowers' requests of late also.
