I'd been seeing flashing lights for about an hour but the sugary drink perked me up for the last section. Thanks guys.
Hi Gill, Actually, it was Iain S and James R who stopped to 'feed' you, but in the conditions I can understand you not getting our names correct - I could hardly hear myself think in the maelstrom! I didn't want to lug all of that Lucozade up Kinder, so I was glad that you could reduce my load by drinking some of it! :-) Congrats on the first FV50 place - good job! After the Lucozade, you seemed to be steadier, and it's amazing how much warmer a wind-proof hood can make you. Cheers, Iain
