that's a shame lantern- was looking forward to seeing you, as we'd probably've been going at similar pace

Quick Q for prev participants.....
does anyone know the sketch for crashing out at the finish? i.e. room for sleeping bag etc. - can't seem to find much about this.......could email organisers i guess but with this one such a well established event i know the answer is prob out here somewhere.
ALL being well i'm anticipating a 12-13hr finish in an ideal world (legs permitting) - so a something to eat & to sleep soon after is the plan...
cheers
Mark...
Hi Mark - There is a (big) room at Scout HQ where people try to sleep after they have finished - it's just sleeping bags on the (hard!) floor. You'll be offered a fry-up when you finish.Originally Posted by markdalton99
HTH, Steve
Steve - sounds good - especially the fry-up! I'm used to the hard floor post event sketch...so that's no prob
looking forward to this one...

Yeh I guess we would have been doing a similar pace... it's a great day (and night) out and if I could make it I would... gutted, but there's always next year.
Enjoy it... just don't be tempted to set off too quick. Hope the weather's as good as last year.
Gutted to miss this one (injured), had been looking forward to this one since UTLD :angry:
For next year, how does the terrain, hilliness, compare to Long Tour of Bradwell?
You get yourself better, DE. As long as you do that you'll live to run another day. Your denial will only be temporary and it will seem like no time at all once you're back. Bide your time. Perhaps do some test walks (short routes on LDWA events?) to gauge your recovery. That strategy worked for me in the past when temporarily injured.
Now for Bullock Smithy. There is no heather-bashing but the route does go through similar country. My gut feeling is that the terrain and hilliness are, on average, easier than on the Long Tour of Bradwell. Pace can be quicker so there is too much temptation to run too much and blow up. I fall for it most years.
Mark, I'll see you on Saturday; I handed my late entry in on Monday. I reconnoitred from Earl Sterndale to the finish yesterday. All that glorious warm sunshine gave me an unexpected sun tan boost.
Good Luck BS'ers....
Hope to join you next Sept...
