I was carrying ultra-lightweight kit, and it weighed about a pound.

To be quite frank having the rules apply what ever the conditions is unreasonable. The FRA in their frustration(at people not carrying kit in cold wet conditions) have said "right let's make them carry kit all the time so we don't have any problems."

So we end up carrying kit on a roasting day, for no reason at all. In fact it could be argued that the extra weight carried, could hasten dehydration by making us sweat faster/longer.

So the rules are present whether I like them or not. Therefore they should be enforced for everyone. Having a Salter scale on a table beside the funnel and then weighing every bum-bag, is a practical way of enforcing them.

"Pop it on the scale mate, right that's ok.....Nexxtttt!


P.s Re F1: I would abolish all the regulations on technology in cars. The sport is corrupt because of them and nothing ever happens........(merry where's that tune again).
