Edale Skyline Fell Race

[Deadlegs]

Obvious. You need a new bum bag. You have too many shoes. Your wife is going to leave you.

Will send my bill later.

Thanks chaps i'll be on Ringing Roger snapping away and trying to control my dog at the same time!

I had a horrible race dream the other day. Set off with my wife, who is a bit of a jogger, got to CP1. Set off for CP2, noticed I hadn't put it on my map. Then noticed my bum-bag was falling apart and that the sports bag I was carrying had 4 pairs of shoes in it (a natty pair of brogues, some XC spikes, road racing flats and some others), a large bunch of bananas, a collection of bandages and some safety pins.

My wife decided to leave me behind and I withdrew from the race. Any analysts out there?

That's quality. dreams are just great right. At least you made the start. i woke up still trying to borrow, beg or steel the necessary equipment to get through kit check!!! wonder what that means?? :w00t:

More questions re kit I'm afraid.

Assuming that the level of required kit is downgraded from full waterproofs, then some of us would like to leave some kit behind. Will there be anywhere to safely leave kit in a bag, or will we need to walk back to our cars to drop it off?

Re Map, will a print-out on ordinary (A3) paper suffice?

Thanks

The fates are conspiring against me for this...

Nasty open foot injury and subsequent infection means antibiotics and a caution from the doc not to do anything too strenuous.

But I'm still running it.

Now, sudden family emergency dropped on me this morning means that despite living in Sheffield I'll actually be setting off from somewhere in the Cotswolds Sunday morning to get to the start line :w00t:.

I think that top three placing is looking a little in doubt .

Still, can't wait all the same.

I'm not part of the organisation, whale.

Last year I dumped a bag in the hall at registration or you could leave it in your car, it's up to you.

I recommend your map is water-proofed in some way. A piece of A3 will be a soggy mush in 2 mins if it's claggy. It's not a matter of passing the inspection, it's a matter of being able to use it.


Simon, sorry to hear that. Be careful, infection plus anti-biotics and strenuous exercise are not good for your heart.

you should be able to put a bag under the table just don't leave your new Iphone, sat nav and wallet in it.

At a push you can leave it in my car which if I remember last year I offered to BL.

My car will have about 10 cases of Rescue Ale in it, pre order now to avoid disapointment. £2 a bottle

[TurboTom]

4 bottles please IDP. See you there
