A good £40 in fuel driving for everyone supporting, then accom for them all, then my food. The bill can easily top £500 for a race. Not that disimilar to doing the UTMB...
Agree with IainR. 1 week in Chamonix including flights cost the same as 2 nights on the WHW for me and my two support crews (as was required)
