I can't comment on lloyds as I wasn't there or know what the kit list was but he should carry whatever the RO said

As for Edale 07 I was one of those incharge of kitcheck at that race and we didn't let anyone through unless they had full waterproof cover. There was also a sign advising about extra kit due to the conditions so if someone want ed extra kit either they had got rid of some after kit check or it wasn't up to the job the weather was paticularly bad though so perhaps it was extra kit he was after on top of what he carried. there were plenty of runners who suffered on that day and there were people trying to get a pertex top through kit check saying it was waterproof tht is the purpous of kitchecks


The point is a RO puts the kit list out so if you want to enter his race you carry it. simple. if not go for a run on the hills by yourself or with your mates and carry what you want.
