I still think your mini pork pies are a bit of a risk after 8 hours in a steamy backpack!Originally Posted by BritNick
Fwoaar gwar 'n' oysters, possibly not. Marmite 'n' cucumber sandwiches would be a safer bet. Food poisoning is less keen on salt.
I think i will be giving this ago this time round.. sounds like a good day out..
where can i find the route??? think i know most of it anyway but could do with checking it out...
I agree TF. My heart was in my mouth after consuming the tepid commestible in the pub in Osmotherley on Saturday evening, but there was nary a murmur in the bowel department. The alcohol probably killed off the bugs. :wink: The only time I ever had food poisoning was after eating a lukewarm, pink beefburger from hotel room-service in Brazil when travelling on business a couple of years ago. I had to present to customers the next day. I felt decidedly delicate. The things we have to do in the line of duty.
I've finally got my entry in for this one, btw.
Lakeland 100 done. This is next, quite looking forward to the challenging course after reading about the challenges of this 31m.
Have route emails been posted out yet? Can't recall seing one, but may just have filed away robotically.
No details have been posted out, DE. Will they be anyway, or will they expect us to download from the website and get the map at the start if we've pre-ordered it?
TF, here's another food story for you. On the Lakeland 100 I dropped some of my mini pork pies and sausage rolls on the earthen floor of Eskdale Corn Mill in Boot (CP2). I say earthen floor. In fact it was a damp, musty, matted carpet that was impregnated by decades of filth. I picked them up, gave them a quick brush off and popped one into my mouth. I was greeted by a brief taste of earthen mustiness. It did me no harm. Waste not want not.
euph/Nick - Congrats on the L100
I got an email recently detailing some minor route changes for the upcoming LTOB, and I think they said they'd be emailing the full route description soon...
Not run one of these events before, is there any reason to order a map ? Have both explorers, just a pity the dark peak map is 2 inches too short for full route and have found last years route/map sections on the web site
received full details of this year's event via email last night :thumbup:
getting excited now :w00t:
off camping with Slug Family for most of next week, so am now officially "tapering" for LTOB!
Anyone got any thoughts on the best route option betwen CP 12 and 13 !
