    I'll be turning out at this one too. Will MudClaws cope with it or is the mud thigh deep???

    Out on the moors last night and was very surprised about just how quickly they have dried so probably no need for swimming kit. I was out in plimsolls and they coped just fine as always.

    The moors were pretty soggy where I was last night; I'll be keeping my water wings to hand! Thanks for the reminder about midge repellant; I'm going to fetch mine out ready now!!!

    Is the course marked at all?

    Marmite is supposed to make you mozzi proof, should work for midges too, it's a b@st@rd to wash off after though!

    Marmite is also difficult to smear on

    I'm going to use boots repel natural citrepel 75. No idea if it'll work!

    Is it citrus they don't like? Perhaps I should sqeeze Jiffy lemon on? No idea what the active ingredient of marmite might be, but it I reckon you might repel most mamals as well as insects if you run up past the Hinchliffe smeared in a savoury sandwich filling.

    Update on the marmite situation: I've been advised by my advisors your supposed to eat it. I have also been advised I'm a feckwit, not sure what that means? Any more advisors out there
