Anyone else doubling up? And with that forecast, it's definitely going to be fell shoes! (for whoever asked: fell shoes are like trail shoes but with far more aggressive studs/grip, and typically lighter weight and less cushioning. They're designed for slippy mud and wet rock)

flanker Oct 2012 8:24pm, 23 Oct 2012 14,014 posts	Quote Pin flanker Probably sensible! We're driving the 300-odd miles north after beachy and crashing nearby. Hoping to have someone pick up the numbers for us... Will see you there, probably near the back at the start and then working through the field (at least that's the plan!)
