Oxfam specifically requested folks to use the toilets provided and not the countryside. Also there is not a lot of cover. Also there are an awful lot of folks around...
Quality rest time does enable faster walking, so there is a balance to be found. I would expect that the next time round we will all have learned from experience and have even slicker support stops, which would help the overall time. But to expect a transformation from dnf in 03, to 29hrs in 04 to sub 20 in 05 sounds optimistic to me. Mind you, I'm not doing it...
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!!
i QUITE agree

Hippo faints
It's an evolving goal, Hippo...

Which camera for the pics?
or were they subsequently digitally enhanced/
cos they were FAB
nice to see the ridge
lovely light on the downs
wow!
i didnt know that
so, how many did it altogether?
I wonder if it might be worse if we set off earlier or were moving faster. Being among the last handful of teams probably eased the congestion at loos and checkpoints quite a lot.
No way am I going behind a bush when it's dark. I haven't forgotten the time, many years ago, when I had a close encounter with a stinging-nettle.
I do notice that some others, including a Pixie and a Hippo, were also dead certs for this year at the start of the thread :-)
But FLM isnt an excuse now is it
