That would be better news for me, but from race pack;Quote:

Think I got confused with what Bill said about the Nav leg..Quote:

The stats (distance, ascent) for Leg 1 make it a little longer than the Dollar race, if that's any help. There's a lot of good, fast running too, assuming you haven't over-cooked it on the climb up the start field;). No spot prize for being the first team to Maidens Castle.
We'll be setting up in the event field Saturday afternoon. Any questions, doubts, suggestions .. come and see us. Or of course just pop over to say "hello".
Bill.
Thanks for that Bill :) So it will probably take me 50 minutes then... I am on leg 2...
What time is it getting dark up there now? I am coming up from S Wales on Saturday and want to be early enough to have a snoop round before dark...
It's dark by about 6:15-6:30 at moment. Are you driving or flying up?Quote:
