Ballbag.

The Master & I are ball bags together...and that's official from FM.

Is that loose as in Loose Hill, or lose as in Lose Hill?

If they are made compulsory, I shall object. I find they suffer from condensation and wear and tear on a long race, and in any case ballbags don't get a strong signal on Kinder.

Wrong.
Last years entry fee was £8 plus £1 for the dibber hire.
This year it is £9 plus £2 for the hire.
The dibber hire fee last year did not cover the actual cost. This year it will.
If you have your own dibber there is no hire fee.

splitting hairs mate,its gone up.As for not looking back,how do most people measure increase.Notwithstanding this,I'll still continue to do the skyline.But I used to do the karrimor [omm]until it became prohibitively expensive.
