To enter the competition just email the answer to the following two questions to info@beaconmaps.co.uk Please put "competition" as the subject line. Include a delivery address and if possible a contact telephone number. We will keep your contact details private. The competition will close at midnight on Saturday the 13th March 2010 and winners will be notified very shortly after this. Beacon Maps decision will be final in all matters relating to this competition. Good luck! 1. Which is the largest of Great Britain's National Parks? 2. What is the name of the highest mountain in England and Wales? No purchase is necessary to enter the competition. Winners will be selected at random from the correct entries and winner's tickets will be dispatched by first class post shortly after the competition ends. Tickets do not include the cost of car parking at the NEC (£8). Main Theatre Tickets: Check the official show website at www.theoutdoorsshowextra.co.uk for the latest list of exhibitors and the speakers timetable. This year the main "celebrity" presentations will be more integrated into the Show rather than being in a separate theatre as before. Up to 300 seated tickets to see the headline speakers are now being sold in advance. Reserved tickets for the James Cracknell and Ben Fogel session on the Saturday have already sold out, but there should be some standing room available so show visitors are not excluded. Background noise tends to be a problem for these talks at the NEC, so it remains to be seen how well the new scheme will work this year. Submit code BM1 before selecting your day and ticket requirements. STOP PRESS: a second Ben Fogel /James Cracknell session announced for the Saturday. Other Outdoor Events in 2010
