EXTRA INFO: We have loads more prizes to give away, including those for best overall team at the end of round 4. So at the halfway point in the competition there's still plenty to climb for!!
Timings will be similar to round 1 and there doesn't appear to be any limit on numbers at either venue. This will mean you can bring the usual two teams (2 gents plus a lady) and additional individuals. More specific info on these things and others will be forthcoming closer to round 3.
