    I think I ran about 20miles with a mug in my hand second time I did the Hobble Fastening it to something is easy. The clever thing is to do it so it doesn't drive you mad rattling for hours

    I've corrected it on my reply - don't know if it will hold the change.
    My fault I admit - maybe there's some sort of prize for the longest running spelling mistake

    If you look back to the early days of this thread you'll find that Brett put me right about the spelling in no uncertain terms. Now I'm scared that he'll have words to say when I arrive at his car park

    Don't worry, I won't let you in the car park, that should save the problem occurring.

    I thought the spare sweater, bivi bag, torch etc was optional if the weather was bad. As far as I can tell the weather looks OK. Then again I am in Worcetershire and it's always barmy weather down here. Don't tell me I have to go back home and get my mountain marathon equipment out!

    I wondered how long Antisocial's crass post from before would take to confuse someone

    Used to live near Worcester and I found it barmy as well.

    Oh how quickly people turn - Derby Tup is happy to slag me but not explain. Also I hope he was saying my post was in poor taste and not linked to the seventies anarcho punk Crass group cos they were awful.

    You are right those items are recommended as items to carry but not compulsory. as always its a common sense call.

    Re: Howarth Hobble 2010

    We used to supply plastic cups at all the refreshment stops but I stopped it after complaints of discarded cups all round the course.

    The litter dropping still continues to be a problem.

    Please don't drop anything
