I've a suspicion that it'll bounce around and drive me mad but it'd be cheaper than a new pack.

I've emailed the organsier about the possibility of doing a special 50th anniversary map (like the Lakeland 100/50) and they seemed very positive about it. It'd certainly solve any issues with runners using home made strip maps.
Just had an email back from the organisers; Harvey's are doing a sponsored custom map, specifically for the event!

There will be details on the website in due course, so if you haven't got a map, don't go out and buy one just yet.
