Hi guys, just wondering about water, i used quite a lot on recce, is it possible to fill a camel pack at the last water stop, or is it possible to take your own and leave it at the stop ready to fill pack,if i make it on time!

Guys leave water bottles on the accent up to Lords Seat, Just leave it there on your way to the start in the morning.

Where's the car parking this year? The club website says it's 15 mins from registration. Mam Nick?

[RachFR]

I'm excited and have both a hat and a buff at the ready...

[IanDarkpeak]

Where?

That depends on whats cold...!

[Marvin]

Great conditions, but the inability to breathe led to an early retirement for me. At least it gave me a chance to see most of the front runners come through Mam Nick.

Kit check - surely a race number is a mandatory item of kit, and failure to carry it leads to instant disqualification

Cocked up big style on this one - locked my keys and gear in my car 30 minutes before the start, so didn't even get to start the race Very annoying! Oh well I've only got myself to blame I suppose... 3 Peaks next month so at least I've got something else to look forward to.

great race again, well organised by DP ( especially on the weather and jelly babies front ) , plenty of friendly folk too...took an interestimg line off Brown Knoll which seemed quite quick to me but not some who followed and were a bit tired .....just thinking of trying to get encrusted blood out of white clothes..lol

[RachFR]

Echoing the thanks to organisers and marshals, great atmosphere and great grub at the end! Very happy with the run today.
Marvin - gutted about that, I think I spoke to you (either that or someone else couldn't breathe early on!) but never mind, there's always next year
