I am a beginner, first MM with my daughter 14 yo. We are in the short Badafell class.
Couple of newby questions.
1. Does anyone know what time the "starts" usually begin on day 1? Thinking we will arrive early Saturday for the 6.30 a.m registration (rather than camp Friday). But see its a 4km walk to the start so not much good arriving at registration at 06.30 if start times are from 7 a.m ?
2. We have light weight gear aside from packs & don't want to go & spend money on running packs.
We have a couple of comfy 40 litre backpacking packs with padded waist+chest straps and they compress down nicely (we wont be filling them!) Tried running with part load in them & the waist straps seem to ride up off the hips and end up more comfortably around lower abdomen. Looking at pics of running packs this seems normal for short backed running packs anyway. Should we just stick with shortening the shoulder straps & accept the hip belts around lower abdomen for pack stability?
3. Any other advice or links to beginners info appreciated
