Once an offical list has been generated would you please put me down for a tent space
Thanks
I'm camping, probably from Friday night to do the swim on Saturday.
This is going to be a blast.
Hoping to arrive at some point on the Friday if someone could add me to the list.
In a campervan if it makes any difference.
Morning, to confirm Gastanks early comment, I would also like a tent pitch - possibly from Friday evening - until such times as I'm sober enought to drive after Monday's awards!!
Also tempted by a little swim on Saturday
is also tempted by a short swim on the saturday (only 1.5 k though!)
On another essential matter - does anyone know what the facilities on site will be like over the weekend - I'm thinking in terms of essentials like food and beer??
Tent List:
Please add me to the tent list. Thank you.
Haven't thought too much about the logistics of it all until now. Just came up with this plan;
Friday -
Arrive 8pm? set up camp.
Saturday -
Register 10:00
Swim practice 11:00 - 11:30
Short easy ride 1:00 - 2:00?
Race Brief (2) 3:00 - 3:45
Transition Check In 4:00? (closes 5:00)
Short easy run 6:00 - 6:15
Bed ??
Sunday
Wake and breakfast 4:00
Start 6:00
Finish 5:00?
as far as i can remember there is a wee shop at the entrance, but your probably as well do bring food with you if you're cooking by camping stove. I remember going to a pub nearby for some food, and there will be takeaways near the campsite i'm sure, so shouldn't be too much of an issue, as there will be plenty of folk with cars
Another one for the tent list please, Fri-Mon/Tue.
Must check with boss if I'm supposed to be in work on Tuesday!
Cheers Lee - so there's a wee shop at the entrance where i can get my messages then?
We had a curry delivered to the campsite last year from local restaurant, and it was very yummy!
I'm in campervan and tent as per last year... well Mum is in the nice comfy (and quiet) campervan and she makes me sleep in the tent I did get my own back by making porridge on the stove at 4am
Please add me to the tent list.
I'm also interested in the swim so I will send Schmunks a message with the appropriate information.
not camping ever
have already done the register with OSB and enetered into the 5k swim
Is it too late to volunteer as a marshal?
Aye
I shouldn't have thought so. Come join the party
You have to be up early and you know how you hate that
I think you're confusing me with Cake
Although... how early?
That said, Cake will be up at god knows what time, so I'll probably be up anyhoo
Where do I sign up?
Add your name....but don't mess up the list, or run the risk of Fairy's wrath!!
