Now you've hit on something there old chap!
We could have a forum versus FB challenge race, us in Bob Graham kit and the FB young pups in whatever consensus decision is reached as to best socks/shoes/shorts/vest/wicking layer/top layer/windproof/waterproof/hat/glove/bumbag/torch/food/drinking system/whistle for the event.

To make it fair, when the gun goes, we'll be off in our hobnails whilst the pups will don one item at a time once the FB suggestions have reached consensus for that item and so on.

A proper Bob Graham challenge for the 21st century!
