Guides
What to Expect, part one, two, three – Peter Kay’s comprehensive guide on what to expect for the 2011 Assaults. While this may become outdated eventually, much of the information will remain the same and is useful.
The Assaults Routes, part one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight – Paul Thomas walks the reader through a section-by-section breakdown of the entire Assaults route. This is probably the most valuable guide I’ve found on the internet.
