I'm not too worried about the cold on the hill, I can wrap up really warm and get in a bivvy if it gets really bad, But......Originally Posted by Turner
Just looked at that weather forecast.
Not looking forward to marshalling in those conditions.
Will have to invest in a pretty hefty Guinness jacket tomorrow night!
Just think how cold it will be when I get home...It is mothers day after all
Turner where are you marshalling?
I'm on Mam Tor Ian, How about yourself?
On a marshalling note if anyone has any specific requests for shouts of encouragement / heckles etc. note them down with your race number.
Otherwise I'll just wheel out the mildly annoying classics such as "C'mon chaps, not far to go now!!"
Just shout "kit check at next checkpoint" and see what sort of look you get.
roughly how long will it take my wife to walk from the start to mam tor checkpoint
You cruel, cruel man Daz.
I had asked Mrs MH and the kids to hand out jelly babies at Mam Nick but given the forecast they might just sit in the car for 4 hours with the heater on!
is the forecast honestly that bad
such is the devotion my wife has for me
im sure i can depend on her to wait it out in all weathers with my banana and nutella sarnies eagerly awaiting her husband trudging up mam tor.
id better arrange to meet her in the pub in castleton
I've said I'll meet my folks in the pub in Edale after - yes, the forecast really is that bad
id better arrange to meet her in the pub in castleton
I've spent most of the day checking out the photos of last years race on the web site to get some ideas of how many layers of clothing to put on
