Ah good :D I'm glad we retain the dibber on the stepping stone bridge, the dibber 20ft off course you can only see once you've passed, the one hanging off the tree over the river, etc.... that give this event an almost unique character amongst ultra's ;)Quote:

not to mention the unmanned clip that it stated as being on a stile...

heaven help you if you persist in looking for a stile!
right

Karen, I'd say follow me but I wouldn't want to trash your finishing time. ;)
It might be good for the first bit at least- my legs should be good for long slow days with mega ascents and lots of rock hopping but may not be upto much speed! Be good to see you anyhow
Hello Everyone.
My name is Rob, I entered the long tour with my other-half but she cant run as she has hurt her knee. This means i have free place going if any ones wants it? It includes dibber and map. I dont want the money for it as I would lose that anyway.
I have decided to run this as a training run for the Bullock Smithy, I have recce'd the last 10 miles and have an idea of where to go for the beginning. Just wondered if it is the same route as 2010 as a friend has sent me the GPS of 2010 race to help me out (I am slightly navigationally challenged). Also, is there plenty of water en route? I am planning on taking 2 bottles to refill as I go around and some emergency money. Sadly I don't think I'll finish in time to get an ice cream from the shop :(
