I'm sorry to say I won't be there as I'll be skiing so you won't see me running kit check this year but...

If Andy says waterproof then only waterproof will pass muster. Don't try to play silly bu&&ers and insist 1 jelly baby constitutes emergency food. it doesn't and you will be sent away like the guy who tried last year!!

Dumping kit or trying to bend rules will only get your number noted for the 'Spot check' later. Unlike most races you spend a considerable time up high so don't skimp on kit.

but above all else enjoy.

Have fun every one I'm really jealous and I'll be thinking of you all
