Thanks Dan, that'll be great. I should be relatively easy to recognise as I will be toting a tri-coloured border collie :)Quote:

Ha ha, thanks. That's where I was going wrong - I wondered where all the info wasQuote:

I think we'll manage to spot you Daz! But if it's really fancy dress this year I suppose I'd better dig out one of my Kendal Mint Cake shirts.Quote:

Dan I'm okay on the map front now - I've been copied in with route map-eroos that i can carry round and look at in handy one page at a time instalments :)Quote:

Nice long slow one for me and two pals tomorrow (so to speak):o our longest distance since last June. Picnic packed; samosas, pork pies and shot blocs! Lovely.
There's some veggie hot dogs at one checkpoint and if you're slow enough I've got a rucksac full of egg sarnies and malt loaf! Veggies do rule the world we just do it quietly!Quote:

Compass found. (phew!) Just need a good nights sleep now... shame I've had so much coffee today!

Just remember to have a cuppa and an extra stale doughnut at the last checkpoint, to see you up to Top O'th' Stairs.
Will Mr Brightside be positioned at Mankinholes as usual with his bottle of single malt?
Went down a treat last year, and I'd like to be able to rely on it in my Race Feeding Plan...
...otherwise I'll need to carry the cash to buy a pint in Heptonstall.
I've got a tenner in my pack in case you've all drunk the Mankinholes whiskey before I get there ;-)Quote:
