OSB in their other incarnation (Pace Setters), nearly kicked the pirates out of the Vit 5 years ago as I got a little carried away painting on the course Friday night.
They woke us all up on the campsite about 5am!
6ft high letters accross the top of the rutland ripple, everyones name up the small hill after Ketton, other bits and bobs
You could just about see some of the 'temporary' powder paint the following year.
I'm in leccy world to which is very nice as that's where we were for the half. For the half there was a group of non competitions who were up singing until 2am race morning which I reall didn't appreciate better pack ear plugs this time !
EP.,...........there seemed to be people not doing the outlaw last year in the site....I did politely ask my neighbours if they could turn down their radio at 11.00 last year (I wasn't competeing but like my sleep....).they apologised an said they didn't realise that it was that late.I would have definitely had a go at the singers at 2 am as like all campsites they have a policy on noise after dark ..........
The out and back bit including the switch backs I can understand as the tow path does get a little crowded, but 2 full laps of the lake to start with!!!!!! I ask you.
will be making sure I've got my cap / visor pulled down as far as possible to only see 5 feet in front of me
I can't get the route to load but it looks like it's basically the old Nottingham marathon route. Sorts me there is only so much river you can see without jumping in it.
Afraid I've e-mailed one step last week and asked them if I can turn the entry into a relay and waiting for a reply.
Q when Jo did that how long did it take for them to get back? Bit worried in case I'm to late or they havn't seen my e-mail.
Asked sarah to do the swim and then doing the rest. Temped to do the lot if I'm honest but after last year and the gap in training would be a one way trip I think.

So basically, you're kicking the misses out of bed at 6 to do the swim for you, while you hang around with the rest of us and eat bacon butties, before you go and play on your bike??
Just spoken to a lovely lady called Linda and it should be sorted. Might not be able to get a small t-shirt for sarah through. So I best make sure I can make one just in case.

maybe it was elves?
Just spotted this in case anyone wants a girls night out friday. Mentioning it because the missus likes it honest. http://www.trch.co.uk/index.aspx?articleid=21935
Who else is having an electric tent?
Me Nursey.......we do not have a choice of pitch .we get told which pitch.......but we gets lots of room and are away fropm the snoring of barley
I'm in the cheap seats Nursey, so must remember to pack earplugs if Barley's nearby
I expect nursery and seren will have a queue of pirates wanting their phones etc charged up over the weekend ....
Is anyone else not camping, we are staying at the holiday inn
And there will be whisky in the tree-lined avenues of Leccyville
Oh that was so much fun ... !!!
Barlos ... if you see this, have you got the big yellow signs? Do you want me to take them up on the Friday or do you have enough room?
We're not camping. Staying in a hotel about 3 miles away
We'll be in leccy world - OH didn't wanna camp so hiring a caravan.
Do we really have to wait a whole 3 weeks? It's like Christmas ...

Christmas?...or the start of a new school term
I wonder if some idiot will decide to let fireworks off again at 11pm just as we're trying to nod off
I am not liking the "new" run route

or just wear a blindfold, and if one foot suddenly gets wet you'll know you've veered too far to the right (or left)
Yeah the first couple of laps might be a bit soul destroying. Good practice for Enduroman run course though!!!!

I'm sure they'll get back to you - maybe email then again, or get in touch via their facebook page too? Who you relay'ing with?

I phoned them up and asked and then paid the difference over the phone
Cheers mate will get on the hotline.

Yes I have my fault's but I'm not stupid.

Does this mean you're doing the enduro next year Pea?;-)
Oh Pea I will get out the pompoms ready to cheer you on.
Only the half!!!!!!
You only want me to use half a pom pom? That's a bit weird chuckles? Has living that far south effected your mind with the heat?
