Hi. A crazy friend of mine is doing this and wondering about taking some music along for the ride...any previous runners of this event here who might be able to offer advice? Is it practical and if so would say an MP3 player be his best bet?
Thanks

He also said that many people who started with these things chucked them as they went along to get rid of the weight.
If it helps you get through the long stages then so be it.
You wouldnt really notice the extra weight of an mp3 player- its what 100grams or something.
The thing most people dumped was excess food and books
he burnt ut within a day! so far there has beenno divine retribution.
quite a few people bought books though. there is a lot of time kill - or you think there is until you realise how long it takes to bandage blisters every morning!
Run/walk - refuel -sleep chat to other people......no need for music.
For me I spent 7 days obssessing about maxingwater and calorie intake and making the backpack as light as possible - if it couldn't be eaten,drunk or part of the survival kit get rid.
