    Pacers /Navs needed 19/07

    *Pacers /Navs needed 19 july 2014.*
    Hello there all . I am due to attempt the bob graham round on the 19th July following a clockwise route and opting for a 5pm start . I am looking to source additionally like minded people to help on the date mentioned . I have chosen a 23hr schedule with the idea that i will be able to pick things up in the latter stages of the round . I will appreciate all help given wether it be pacing or naving . If you feel you may be able to help ..and make a truly great day . By all means contact me

    I seem to remember we went through this "picking up the pace in the later stages" thing before. Have you worked out the logistics of how you and your team will manage this?

    Have you asked the folks who were on other attempts you have supported? Usually the best place to ask in the first instance.

    DD I dont whether you know but your weekend clashes with English Champs race at Kentmere which will remove a few people from being able to support you. As MP says have you spoken with people whom you have supported and sounded out their availability first. My attempt this year clashes with the Old Counties Tops, but I checked out peoples availability before choosing the date. I would fill any gaps then with a shout out on the forum. Good luck to you.
