That's not what you told me AlsoRan. A few years ago you had a woman in your tent, supplied her with alchohol then asked her to lay down. Trousers or otherwise ~ you are guilty:eek:Quote:

Unlike others who have given great thought to their outfit for the day, I don't know what I'll be wearing, so just look out for the nervous looking chap by a red Vectra in Barley car park.
Awwwwww, :DQuote:

i decided, when i get to a checkpoint, i'm gonna hold my hand out to the marshal and say "goodies" in the hope i will be blessed with jelly babies!
Like the kids who lived nearest to school, I'll probably end up being one of the last there!!:pQuote:

Stolly lad, just remember that part of the kit check this year is that the zip on your bumbag is nicely greased and fully functional - sorry, could not help getting that one in!!:DQuote:

I'll try and do them both then... just have to get the map out now - only been over the course once and that was back in March.Quote:

CP4 might be a good place, get the Geronimo descent and river crossing. You could start at the double gate on the path to the top, get a few shots here then move down to CP4/11. You could then get people on the way back in at the same spot.
Anyone got any shoe advice, not done this race before but I 'm thinking Mudclaws over Harriers?
Dont use Harriers unless you like the taste of soil and sheep muck.:oQuote:

Definitely mud claws unless you've got size 13 feet and you're good at skiing ?
Absolutely - the top bog crossing just after the trig will be 3 foot deep in places :D
