    Absolutely beautiful day in Sheffield today - if it's like this at the race tomorrow it'll be shorts and tshirt weather! :thumbup:
    Good luck tomorrow everyone, I'll probably be helping/hindering on kit check so say hi (I'm generally identifiable by the mass of brown curly hair)
    But in the end, journeys brought joys that outweighed the pain - F.T.

    Hi all
    I've been in Edale all day with IanF sorting various stuff out. It has been very hot out there with no wind so it is a possibility/likely that the kit will be reduced to windproof but bring both, a long sleeved thermal top though will be required(if only to protect you from the sun)

    It was quite cool in the clag this morning though and it didn't burn off until 11.30.

    Water, there will be some on route but please carry some as heat exhaustion is a possibility. don't forget the sun cream. Edale centre was chocker today with cyclist, Ramblers and even a bare chested Luvshack, there wasn't enough room to swing a small hill going rodent. please car share where possible.

    Good luck one and all.

    impossible question but how much Water would a four hour man need to carry in these conditions? I am assuming the streams will be dry

    Not much. You can fill up in Hope village, after 70 mins or so, then at Mam Nick, just before the cut-off time. I'd expect the brooks on the far side towards the finish to still have some water in, but others can confirm..
