My fell shoes are knackered anyhow so may well wear em just cos I prefer em to my trails? I suspect most will wear trails for this but we'll see eh?

Old faithful Mizuno Wave Slippers for me

Though fairly flat, there's a lot of knee deep mud for us all to enjoy. I'd recommend light weight racing galoshes.

So will we have the pleasure of Mr Pudge making an appearance?



Just one thing - I have these walking trousers. Do you think they pass as opposed to the thick waterprooof trousers which are currentyl bulging out of my bumbag.

Also - you reakon i can leave my compass and whistle at home?

[karen nash]

No- I doubt they will be happy with the walking trousers- water repellent is not the same as waterproof. I notice it does say on the ogden site Waterproof and windproof jacket- ie not just pertex. It will be interesting to see if they check( I am taking both and will see what it is like as I have no wish to be soaked and frozen)
Guess your comment re map, comapss, whistle was a joke? Take them.

Oki doki. Ive got my new OMM jacket so im ok on that front. Will leave the walking trousers behind then - shame really as they fould in nice and small. I need to try and buy some proper trousers.

As for the compass i was actually serious . They have fit in my bumbag anyway so that doesnt matter now.

[Pudgy]

Yeah, be told Fowler! Even if your map skills are a little suspect, you can follow a rough bearing to safety if the ordure really hit the fan. Similiarly if you had to wait for Mountain Rescue you'll get cold very quickly (think of when we stood around for 5 minutes at XOTF) then think what you'd want to be wearing. Personally I think windproof is much more important than waterproof, but it still needs to be a reasonable shell. If I had any spare I'd lend them you, but I haven't, so I won't

Yep, did Ashurst Beacon today, throughly enjoyed it, and am presently indulging in pre race training with a cheeky little red. See you all tomorrow
