If they are made compulsory, I shall object. I find they suffer from condensation and wear and tear on a long race, and in any case ballbags don't get a strong signal on Kinder.Quote:

The dibber hire fee last year did not cover the actual cost. This year it will.
If you have your own dibber there is no hire fee.

Yesterday the Master told me exactly what a ballbag is.
splitting hairs mate,its gone up.As for not looking back,how do most people measure increase.Notwithstanding this,I'll still continue to do the skyline.But I used to do the karrimor [omm]until it became prohibitively expensive.Quote:

And why does it matter what colour it is?:confused:
No phone call yet :eek:
2 recces so far. The first in freezing fog, couldn't see a thing and all the paths were totally iced over. The 2nd today & we got snow, wind, fog & ice. It was crazy up there. Enjoyed both though, must've been the company ;) . Sorry to have missed you IDP
Matt If you don't know the course I would stay away Or contact Andy and Marshal the first year(Like I did) or get out there with a map a recce recce recce. esp the bit from Mam Nick to the End, I know 'Skyline' had a wonder in the first half a few years a go but that shouldn't happen.Quote:

Mobile signal was good. Linda's sister rang as well - to ask her to get her a bag from the factory shop!:rolleyes:
Just to back Ian up, you definitely need to know where you're going in this one, it is very tough especially if the weather is grumpy.Quote:

Depends what you mean by 'skills'.Quote:

Matt,
If you can get round and are content to shadow someone then I'm sure that you'll be grand (Im not sure the organisers will appreciate me saying this mind). Just beware that Jacob's ladder is probably the last real point to abandon, and that there may not be tents available this year for those of a hypothermic condition.
