[Bierzo Baggie]

Why not forget the Cape Town challenge and come and do the Aquilianos? MUCH cheaper and you could twin it with the Moyleman! Now there's an idea...

An idea indeed! I'm not saying 'no' to the Aquillianos. It's not a road race so technically still an option in the future. I need to get off tarmac for good, and before I can do that I'd like to right the one wrong that lingers above all others in my addled head.

When you say 'twin', do tell us more *intrigued*

If you can twin towns you can twin events. I've read your epic Two Oceans report, the race itself sounds horrible.The Moyleman sounds much more appealing !
If you're not doing Almeria, The Aquilianos would be a great alternative for 2015 and it's accessible to all levels (or at least the 48k version is). I'd say a sub 6 hour Aquilianos B-route would be comparable (and less damaging physically) to a sub 6-hour Cape Town run. And if anybody wants to walk it in 10 or 11 hours then that is an option too.
I reckon Antonio would love it as well!
