Can't believe there isn't already a thread for this?
Good luck to all taking part - a large contingent from Bath this year - an early start tomorrow to drive over, but better than getting deluged tonight! Medium Score again.... just hoping the hamstring doesn't let me down.

Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
Looking at the OMM website I smirked at the double meaning in their tag line "Enduring British Innovation Since 1968".
Yup I've used kit that made me feel that I had to endure it, but it's hardly the best reflection on the Britsh design community.
Good luck to all off to Breacon this weekend
Car's packed, just waiting for Karen to finish work & drive down the M6. Tea at my place with the family then the 3-hour drive down to put the tent up. Looks like we're going to have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow to catch our 7:05 bus to the start. 60 mph gusts forecast on the tops for tomorrow pm when the heavy rain hits as well, then 70 mph gusts for Sunday! Just your average OMM weather then. At least we're unlikely to finish day 1 through a half-frozen bog this year.

Saw you in the start list and was going to drop you an email - hope it all goes well for you and Paul, I shall be gently nursing the hamstring. If you pass two lovely dark-haired ladies heading on your route but with a twenty-minute start, that'll be Philipa and Renee - say hi from me!
Catch up with you soon - going to try and find a date for a welsh weekend with the usual suspects!

All registered and back home in front of the fire - glad we are not in a tent tonight though the bar in the barn looks inviting!!
Worryingly given 3 x dogy poo bags, as we are in a national park we are expected to poo in the bag rather than on the hill, pooing in a small bag in rain and 70mph winds could be challenging.
We have one bag each and a spare one "to share", there is already talk of a competition at the finish to see who has the heaviest bag ......
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
You know what.... that's a competition I may well not enter!!
Mind you don't oversleep in that nice toasty bed! If you want a bar... don't you have rather a good one just up the road? And not overrun with runners!

Because you are small, furry and great at skimming over bogs.
Rather you than me this weekend!
