Looks like it is going to rain on Sunday morning.
Think of it as a penalty clause for people taking more than 24 hours!
Hi LIrish - will try to remember to say hello, am normally faffing.

Looking increasingly damp
Just want to add a scream to this blog as that's how Im now feeling this morning aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh
This is it guys!! See you at the start..best of luck to everyone, and thanks for all the useful info during the past few months, this forum has been invaluable!!
looking at the weather forecast for the weekend sunglasses are not going to be needed. dilemma as to road shoes all the way or change to trail at half way point as the rain makes parts of the path increasingly muddier.
Off work today so I can sort out drop bags and kit and consider shoes one last time .
Shorts,tights,shorts, tights,shorts, tights ? only outstanding issue.
I would like to reinforce PP,s comments, although i,m not a big user of forums generally, being part of this one has been great, its been a real benefit and helped me through a very lonley winters training.
Weather looks great !!!
I'll be in sunglasses and shorts
The sunglasses are prescription with photochromatic lenses so are fine in the dark. I'll have a pair of tights in my Henley drop bag for the overnight section, I plan to stop to change socks and check my feet there anyway. Also have a bright yellow top in that bag.
Sat in work eating a cross between chicken korma and lamb vindaloo with mushroom rice. The things we do to carbo load...................
Anyhow my coach leaves for Victoria Bus station at 3.40 can't wait to get out of this place and sit my arse down!!
Goodluck all
may all our fortunes be blessed.
Just had my final fill of pasta with mushrooms and lardons. Very nice.
Time to tape feet, a couple of buds and then get ready for bed.
Was going to drive the camper over tonight but sod it think I'll drive in the morning given the late start.
Looking forward to chatting to some of you tomorrow and good luck to all..
Sorry just visualizing my progress.
Goodnight.
Having trouble tracking progess on the live website - I'm guessing its down and not a problem my end?? Can anyone confirm?
Doh! Just as its starting to get intersting in the front 20......
Think its Oxpens Field, Oxpens Rd.... Oxford.... Failing that the check point at Mile 95 is Radley College Boathouse, lower Radley - OX14 3AZ
Winner through the finish now - Craig Holgate in 15.11...... Mental!
positive vibes to all still on the course
Hope everyone else is going well
Must be more than that to call it off? Or H+S gone mad?
Just got home from marshalling there and the weather progressively getting worse, was trying to snow all night. I don't know the current weather but I am sure James made the correct decision based on current conditions. One guy had already slipped into the Thames and another idiot had turned up without a jacket! Fortunately someone lent him one during the night. A few people didn't even appear to have headtorches. For some of the guys left on the course I think the decision will protect them from themselves!
A real shame for James as it was a great race with some fantastic runners, and as you would expect, was incredibly well organised.
