Best of luck AndyH and everybody else. Sorry I can't join you this year. Food is pretty good and varied. Look out for the jam doughnuts at nr. Chelmorton and hot dogs at Brand Top. You'll need those and more to keep the fire burning. Some personal emergency rations are needed in case of a low point between checkpoints and in case the checkpoint food does not light your candle. One drink bottle should suffice because the checkpoints are not far apart. As already mentioned, don't forget your mug. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good weather. I'll follow your progress on line from beside the barbecue as I recover from the UTMB with my feet up.
Sub 14 hours is a good time to aim for, especially if it's your first time and navigation may be an issue.
Would you say a 2 litre camelbak bladder is overdoing it? Judging by comments re waterbottles and the relatively short distances between checkpoints I'm hoping so.
How strict are definitions of a first aid kit and spare batteries/bulbs enforced? I'm aiming on taking a few plasters, small bandage and two small headtorches.
Again, good luck all.
Thanks Daz and Nick, have a great race at the Horseshoe Daz, will be a great one:)http://www.realbuzz.com/static/js/ti...miley-cool.gif, thanks very much for the map Nick, spot on:thumbup:.
One final good luck folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:
Andy.
I'm about to cycle up to the start to 'ow do, take a few piccies and see you all off. Amazingly considering the forecast, the sun's still trying to shine. Long may it continue. It's going to be a warm day and balmy night - typical BSH weather. Enjoy.
The first one's finished already - an hour ago in fact - fellow Stockport Harrier James Scott-Buccleuch in 8:46. What a machine. Live results here. Did you guess correctly then Daz? As soon as I saw James on the start line I thought: "Hello, this one's a bit of a dead cert".
Oh Yes - really pleased for James, he'd been recce-ing it and everything!
really talented runner who has come on loads over the last couple of years
also great to hear that his two BS training partners (Neil & Steve) finished in 2nd and 5th, thus scooping the team prize for Stockport :thumbup:
Congratulations to the GVS runners. A top 4 finisher this year, first lady in 15th overall and a host of Pbs...well done!
Bout time! - Macc have won it for the last 15 years or more!! Great run from the Stockport lads all the same especially James!Quote:

Finally, congratulations to all those that made it round.
