Hmm, emergency food requirement of 200kcals. Can this be right? A quick google shows a Bassetts jelly baby to be about 20 cals. So I need to carry 10000 with me. Including the 10 or so I might carry to get me round the race, that makes 10010.
Shome mishake shurely.
Read the packaging again when people talk about calories they are actually talking about Kcals.Originally Posted by CribGoch

In scientific terms:
1000 calories = 1 kilocalorie = 1 kcal = the energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.
In nutrition terms:
ie. What you'll find on food packaging, calories = kilocalories and are used interchangeably.
In some instances food energy is measured in kilojoules - mostly by the scientific community - though some food packaging also gives kilojoule (kJ) values. 1 kilocalorie = 4.2 kilojoules.

You may want to check with National Rail Enquiries, but I'm sure I've read this week that there are NO trains from Sheffield to Edale on Sunday due to engineering works!?
That's plenty of time - the train from Manchester gets in at 10:07!!
Tom, Thanks for the heads up. Just checked on the National Rail website and phoned them, no engineering works planned this Sunday so it should be running.
r0bh- lol, I thought we were cutting it fine!:wink:
If the trains is reasonably on time it will not matter as the kit check is just at the bottom of the station approach ramp.
I may be showing my ignorance here (OK - I AM showing my ignorance here!) but technically what constitutes a base layer as far as the RO is concerned? Is it ANY long sleeved top regardless of thickness, thermal properties etc?
It's not normally an issue for me as I always tend to carry far too much in a race anyway but with the forecast as it is, assuming is stays the same, I am happy to carry a very lightweight top if I am allowed.
Is anyone travelling over from Saddleworth??? I can provide a good service by carrying up some food etc to Hollins Cross for people
Excellent news, apologies for any panic caused! See everyone on the start line on Sunday...can't wait!Tom, Thanks for the heads up. Just checked on the National Rail website and phoned them, no engineering works planned this Sunday so it should be running.
