A few of us about, I'm in a Pirate team called Shiver Me Timbers, I Thought You Said Rum. We've got t-shirts so should be easy to spot. A couple of other Pirates in another team called Cool Running.
SIUBC - Do you know if this years event sold out quickly? I quite fancy it, as it looked like you all had a great time from the pictures I've seen, but am still compiling (i.e. getting permission for) next years race calendar, so can't commit just yet.
I think they still had places up to a month or so before the event - definitely a nice way to do an ultra or just as part of a team good for the crewing side of it too.
great event! 3rd year racing there. I think it was £105 for solo this year, that includes free camping for 3 days. You get a finishers medal and a t shirt.
lots of food stalls at reasonable prices. nice course, not boring and if your lucky you get to hear Dolly Parton in the middle of the night. ( I thought I was hallucinating)
Pirate camp was great, naughty me used it for a place to drop in an abuse, as required)
Pirate camp also provided beer & rum for all solo or team.
We had two pirate teams of 6.
ive done similar races but this was by far the best organised for camping, food stalls, double decker bus for a bar with great mojito's plus clean loo's & showers
On course music & entertainment plus sunrise runs were brilliant
Great to see the pirate teams just down from our running club, and meet Mallowpuff for the first time and see Cake again. Well run all the pirate teams - was good to see you out on course!

Sounds good - will look out for you! Staring at pouring rain at the moment and hoping that the BBC have got the weather right for tomorrow.
Yeah looking out the window and it's pouring - good thing I like mud but actual day of race looks okay might get some good sleep tonight
A friend of mine is doing it solo and has just sent some pictures of the weather forecast and motorway.
Good luck!
First time at Equinox24 and it was an oarsum event.
mini pirate camp set up with couple of teams and Cake & Postie going solo.
Well organised, challenging course with That Hill, wet start but dried up as weekend went on.
Amazing sunrise lap as well as a daylight & nightime run.
will go back as a team for sure next year in a team
how much was the entrance fee for this year?
Already put my holiday request in for next year
Solo or team?

It has been added to my list of possibilities
I fancy this too....saw the pics this year, and thought it looked good fun.... will pen in provisionally for 2017
solo entrant
10k laps looks long enough to stop getting bored but short enough not to get lost
will the battery on your mobility scooter last that long SA?
you tw*t
I think I can do 10k in 24 hours, even at my age
