    Were is your sense of humour guys this is ment to be a team effort. Seems to me that there is to many so called chiefs and not enough Indians so you might as well get on with it. Hope that you all have a nice day and enjoy yourselfs. Good luck Bill.

    I think the point I was making, Mark, was that I consider myself an Indian. That was all. The whole point of my comment was genuinely that I was pleased that someone was confident in taking the right lines because I wouldn't want to be relied upon. I took the same point from the others too.

    Mark I am very sorry about the misunderstanding, I am too very much in the Indian camp and quite happy to be there, in fact this is my very first BG supporting run. As my own navigation skills probably extend to little more than being able to get myself out of trouble if needed I was looking forward to watching somebody who knows what they are doing on a round.

    Looking back over the posts I can see that perhaps if you didn’t know me that you might have thought I/we were having a moan but I assure you that’s not the case. I was just looking forward to helping Bill out and hopefully learning a bit from the experienced BG guys.

    Good luck Bill - enjoy the 24 hrs & hope the weather Gods behave themselves.

    Good luck also to Elise of Tod - starting at midnight - that will mean her support crew can celebrate in the Loft then

    The weather forecast is looking a toughy Bill; heavy rain, high buffetting winds and high potential for hill fog. Using a gps right from the off will probably be a good idea, especially in the dark
