    Saunders 2012

    This year's event is based in Wasdale. Doesn't get much better than that. Should be a good 'un.

    You're right. And I've a fair chance of knowing where I am some of the time too. Which'll make a pleasant change. We're thinking of dressing for dinner at the halfway camp by the way. And downing G&Ts. One has to keep up one's standards.

    There's no clear rule forbidding the employment of butlers in the event. I suggest racing with the bare minimum of kit whilst entering your servants on a short class to allow them sufficient time to get to camp to erect the appropriate accommodation, begin dinner preparations, etc.

    don't forget the camping chairs, 4-person tent and full airbed!
    looks like my partner's pulling out, trawling through phonebook for replacements but most seem to be on/recovering from BGs!

    Now that's an exciting location, one that I don't know that well...! It does lead one to think that there'll be some massive climbs right out of the starting grid

    This is my first MM, I am excited, but done little MM training as I only found out I was in last week:w00t:. I am beg, borrowing, stealing any MM kit I can off mates who have do a MM before. Hell I hope I don’t let my team mate down.

    Looking forward to the event.

    Yup. No easy way out of Wasdale. The only way is up.

    What class have you entered? Let me know if you run out of options and wouldn't mind entering with someone you don't know :-)

    On the hoof is the best way to get in to it. I was talked in to my first MM (OMM 2009) on 10 days notice with a guy who was more experienced and much fitter than I was. Turns out we were quite well matched on an MM, finished 5th on day 1 and 4th overall.

    Bowfell. Still got a few numbers to trawl through but dare say I'll be able to find a likely spooning candidate on here if needs be!
