The second challenge is now open with the opportunity for one winner and his/her 3 mates to take on the wildest of Wild West challenges in the heart of cowboy country, Wyoming, Montana. The group will head to Shell Valley’s 300,000 acre working cattle ranch where they’ll be taught the art of horseman ship, whilst learning to survive in the wild and drive cattle across the countryside in an epic mountain adventure. An expert rancher will be on hand to provide valuable tips and pointers and ensure the group is set to succeed at every step of their adventure.

It couldn’t be easier to enter, simply visit Lucozade Energy, enter the challenge and invite three mates to share the experience.

The winners of the second challenge will set out on 18 July 2009 and follow a mountain packed schedule in their pursuit of taking on the ultimate Wild West adventure. Some top highlights include:

Challenge Day 1 - Landing In Cowboy Country

The group set off to the 100 year old working cattle and horse ranch located in the Shell Valley, nestled in the foot of the remote Big Horn Mountains.

Challenge Day 2 – Horsing Around

After a well needed sleep, the group will begin their cattle ranch training learning the tricky techniques of horsemanship and rope work with a trained expert wrangler before heading out to the mountains for a trial ride. Later in the evening, the saddle sore group will enjoy a famous rodeo show in Cody, a small town founded by Buffalo Bill Cody.

Challenge Day 3 – Rounding The Herds

Today, the group will have a cattle herding training session in a traditional arena to test them before they head out into the back country to complete their first cattle drive .

Challenge Day 4 – Cattle Driving Challenge

An early start for the group who will take a long journey straight up the 100 year old cattle trails taking in the incredible diversity of the landscapes on route, eventually picking up cattle and driving them across the remote back country of Wyoming.

Challenge Day 5 & 6 – Wild West Survival

Another early morning start for the group as they ride back down the valley and pick up the cattle that they drove the previous day, before driving them further across the country. The group will also learn how to live in the great outdoors, fishing for their dinner and developing bush craft skill that will allow them to cope in the harsh setting of the Wild West.

Challenge Day 7 – A Well Deserved Celebration

The group make the final journey back to the ranch to enjoy a special dinner in a traditional trapper lodge with music provided by a true cowboy master wrangler, the perfect end to a truly unique cowboy experience.
