but I wont this year![image](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027274/uploads/forum/smilies/sad_smiley.gif)
After combining relay swim leg and feed station for the last couple of years, this year I'm going for a solo effort this year with the aim of not being last pirate home again.
Having said that, it was the best finish experience ever so I might just go extra slow to enjoy it again![image](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027274/uploads/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif)
Count me in please!!! Since I can't edit the list at the momomen, could somebody please add me!

Siggy (I'm doing the swim leg for the 'Burger Boys' so will pop along after that!)
Won't you need a sleep after all that swimming pops?
Im in a relay team and doing the swim so if I could get to the feed station post swim I'd be happy to help again, not sure if the logistics will work Anyone done this before - swim then help for second lap ?
Nursey and Trogs did it last year, so perfectly doable RS
(will have bananas waiting for you
)
Ooohhhh yes more bananas - Fraggle bananas are just your thing !
Please add me to the list - can't do it on an iPad with deleting who thread or forum

Bearing in mind you're supposed to be taking over from me you'd best be praying I make the end of the swim this year!! Bloody kids, no respect these days!
Just keep paying the pension Foo! Keep paying the pension! ![image](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027274/uploads/forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif)
I hate you grandad ( love you really)
I will bring my camping stove and a frying pan again.
Siggy - I'm sure we can arrange lifts so less cars on route to the feed station post swim, any others swimming & helping ?
Mr and Mrs Digger would love to help if needed.

Ive been in touch with OSB, we'll be given the option of the usual feedstation position, probably the same as last year subject to event details being confirmed.

There's not a lot to do for a few months other than encourage support, once we get nearer the event ill gather the details of those wanting camping spaces, swim entries and bacon sarnies
Any questions please ask on here and ill happily try and help.
Thanks for all the support so far.
