Is it OK to tape food to your drinks bottle too Fishy? Not a 3 course meal obviously, just some "energy" stuff, like a kebab or something :eek:.Quote:

tip- tape the gels securely with the open side down and proud of the bottle. You can then half tear top suck out the gel etc with out dropping the wrapper by accident.Quote:

IDP - good tip that, although i won't be using gels, from training it seems that Twix is going to be the weapon of choice, should still be able to use the tip though.
Fishy -why send a can, there's a flamin pub full of the stuff! in fact you've given me an idea, is stopping for scampi & chips & a pint of Black Sheep allowed :D.
Stagger - Bugger off! :eek::D (you can have my number if you want!)
Will be very dry underfoot, just been out on the hills close by and it's not far off as dry as I have seen - good conditions for Wave Harriers or similar.
Cheers for that Ady - good job about the conditions, it was Wave Harriers anyway! I'll watch out for the jacket
I thought I would be dithering between my new Nike Red rocks or my flyrocs, but i am now stuck between the red rocks and my NB road trainers given the dryness & its going to be warm.
You're not the only ditherer!Quote:

That's interesting as Mr Woodentop said at Bunny 3 last night that Holmesy was resting for the 3 Peaks. Not sure if he meant Consiton tho........Quote:

let's hope they have a bit more of a session beer on for post-peaks refreshment eh?Quote:

Have fun! :)

If you require jelly babies, a drink or perhaps a rub down with some goose grease just ask :D
Not at all - I think its classed as delusional thinking :pQuote:
