Pennine Bridleway Relay

[FellJunior]

The leg 1 runners got checked in the hall last year, but i never got or saw anyone having their kit checked once the relay was under-way (i was on leg 2)

It's a great help if you present yourself to the marshals for a kit check well before your team arrives, if only to prove you've taken responsibility for your own safety. I aim to do 100% checks at my changeover point - be warned .

Thats fine by me!

Martin, the club has two other teams running. If you leave your car at the finish your partner can get a lift back with one of them. Being the first leg, there's not going to be too much of a wait.
You can shoot straight off then.
Thanks for bailing us out on this by the way.

Righto, sounds like no trouble then! Just need a lift from end of leg 1 to the start

No worries anyways, looking forward to giving Leg 1 a beasting

We could help you out there but will take us around 1:15-20ish to reach checkpoint.
If youre still around when the Trawden(black/white verticals with a red horizontal) pair hand over, then give us a shout and you can get back with us.

Cheers for the offer mate

Should be ok though, will just get someone to follow me to leg 1 end, drop my car off there, then jump in their's and head for the start.

Which CP you manning?

Make sure you're at the Start of Leg 2 Jim. It looks like Andi's got a cunning plan

I'm sure he only wants to greet me and shake me warmly by the throat.
My exact location is kept a secret, so as to retain an element of surprise.

Seriously, as it states on the event website and Lefty emphasises, the event attracts a lot of teams new to the fells. This makes kit checks even more important, particularly now that the forecasts have been revised down to -10C rising to -5C. There are 190 sets of kit to check at each changeover, so it really does help if pairs play their part and seek out the marshals early on. Personally, all I'm looking for is runners to demonstrate they've taken responsibility for their own safety and are suitably equipped for the conditions. Should be a quick 'rubber stamping' exercise, but in the past I've found a runner on the start line with no kit whatsoever, and already shaking uncontrollably with the cold. A rescue waiting to happen, and unfair on everyone else in the relay. (The individual was sent away to borrow kit.)

Looking forward to meeting 20% of you on Sunday at an undisclosed location.
Hope you all enjoy the day.

Nice try TT, but actually I'm at the end of Leg 3.
(Bear in mind advice about lack of shelter at this location - it gets mighty cold while waiting)
