As ever there are lessons to be learned, by us & RO's..
(lots of us are RO's too, and/or assist at FR's & similar events)
Rudolp's observations are excellent, it's great when things go well..
But, as & when the sh*t hits the fan, things become very tricky indeed!
A courtroom of any kind is never a particularly good place to be..
An inquest is a very tough place....

So, I'll stick with me ramblings of last night, posted as ever in the wrong place (on the KT race thread), here they are again...edited a bit...
========================================
This may surprise a few among you.....
But, I "ran" the race with full kit in my bumbag today,
(full water-proofs, hat&gloves, compass&whistle&map, apricots, gels, etc etc...)
Even wore a shirt & hat for most of the way....
Plus, had extra food & drink/liquid....
Yes, twas very heavy too!

The way of these things in my book is...
Make it very very plain at registration,
that full kit is compulsory... (explain what full kit is on that day)..
Have a kit check too + random checks at the start,
(I'm not a fan of kit checks at the finish - although sometimes needed KIMM etc?)
make it known that that is that, AND IT WILL/DOES HAPPEN....
and if you demure you are off the list.. (DQ'd)
and not welcome back again..
It's not a big ask,
even when Kinder becomes the Med' for a day!

Cracking DAY, magical views all the way round..
Bit HOT for me and all that kit...
(mini rant over...well done to the kitted & unkitted...twas a tough run today)
=====================================
Rant Mk2 over... responsibilty v enjoyment...?
What we do provides us with massive enjoyment, some simple responsibilty is not much to ask...
