I make that about 22 at the moment, and have booked a curry for 20 on the Saturday night at 9pm.

Let me know if you are not going to definitely still make it, so I can adjust arrangements if necessary.

Good news is ... its getting colder by the minute.

fat buddha

me and petal will sort our own accomodation as suggested but would like to join in for the curry the night before if poss.

Is that really good news?..I thought the good news was that its about to get warmer (if a little wetter).

once again Richard..many thanks for your coordination

[Deleted User]

yes I'm still there despite Tough Guy being a feature on the worlds weirdest sports programme that was shown on the plane... looked very cold, wet and stupid!!!

[Deleted User]

Yay - for stupid! Bring it on!!!!

cougie

Deffo up for it. Just pondering my costume on my run this morning.

I'm kinda leaning towards cowboy, but worried about losing my six shooters on the way round.

Whats everyone else doing.

Apart from RichardM - he'll no doubt wanna practice his rhino outfit ?

[Deleted User]

mmmm not thought about costume...more about survival...

cougie

(takes my mind off little things like survival and hypothermia)

RichardM

Cowboy sounds good Cougie. It will give you a chance to dig out those leather chaps again.

[Deleted User]

I'm with The Count on dressing for survival ...

fat buddha

c'mon peeps - we need to have a URWFRC costume - OVER the survival gear!! cowboy kit sounds fun??? maybe some special URWFRC t-shirt??

let's get this going like the Darkside slog challenge

Gavo

There was an idea on mohicans but don't know how many wanna do that.

cougie

Lil' cougie is gonna be so p**d off with me if I lose his cowboy guns.

Probably preferable to do the race again to find them rather than turn up back at home without ! ;-)

Armadillo

I think you need to be prepared to go home without any of the accessories you start the race with.

RichardM

When he sees the state of them Cougie, he won't want them back.

[Deleted User]

LOL Cougie!

No point in me having a mohican as you wouldn't be able to see it under my waterproof woolly hat!!!

I'm up for a costume over essentials... could we get a forumite helly hansen top?

Armadillo

Gavo - your hair isn't long enough to get a mohican! You can just pretend you've been scalped instead.

Gavo

HH tops work for me. Tempted by hat but fairly sure I'll lose it on the way around.

[Deleted User]

mines going to be taped on... actually there's a though I could wear my old scrum cap... its a very fetching baby blue colour but has a strap to keep it on...

cougie

(Note to self. Get spare guns.)

Everything else is expendable.

So we gonna be cowboys or Injuns ?

fat buddha

mohican would be hard for me - seeing as I have a no 2 cut!

I think something over the survival kit is best

cougie

OK - we go for Survival kit, and then some dressing up on top. If we lose those, no worries. How long would a stetson last d'ya think ?

cougie

Actually - forget pussy footing round. If we are playing at cowboys and Indians - I'm taking a damn horse with me. Much easier.

seeya suckers !!!!

Armadillo

and you can hitch your horse to the stagecoach i'll be in.

Jj

if I could just put in a quiet vote for 'cowboys'...

Gavo

Do they allow tomahawks on the course? How about bows & arrows to shoot the marshals so that we can make a few short cuts?

RichardM

Definitely Injuns. Bare chested ones at that I reckon. Girls too.

Gavo

Volunteers to apply the body paint please line up behind me.

[Deleted User]

Injuns I think is easier...a wee bit of the girlies slap and Robert's your father's brother!

cougie

Methinks the count is too quick to break into the girlys makeup.

Let's tar 'n feather him boys !

Yeeehaaaaah !
