    It's also Rick Air's BG this weekend, he's going CW at 7.00pm on Saturday. Will be supporting him on Leg 1, good luck to all others going this weekend.

    It's amazing the range of start times! One would have thought a optimum start time/best legs in the dark would have developed by now. Obviously people are very different when it comes to which legs they are comfortable with in the Dark. I will be departing at midnight next weekend assisting on leg 1.

    I think I'm right in saying that Andy Gibbons is going at midnight next Friday? We'll be there to see him off, I think my missus is worried he's not eating enough and is going to make him a cake. She doesn't make ME cakes by the way.

    Yeah I agree with you there. Having got well and truly fogged out after dark on what was our anti-clockwise leg 4 a couple of weeks ago (we couldn't see much more than about 7 meters in any given direction), I'd be very unsure of doing a 6 or 7pm start on a clockwise round. If I went anti again I'd recommend a really early start (5am to 7am maybe) and I think a late night/early hours of the morning start clockwise makes best sense.

    That said I'm sure I will think up another fitting excuse if my 11pm clockwise round fails
