why do "some" people think its ok not to carry kit when a RO STATES its to be carried!
the weather may be good, the race my be short, they may no the route with there eyes closed, tuff.
its cheating sorry but it is, its an unfair advantage it also puts them and others at risk in an emergancy and the RO could find himself in a court of law! it needs to be stamped out
they should be DQ'd named and shamed in fellrunner mag and results.
