Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I suppose the only consolidation is the wind is a northerly (hence the cold temps) but we will be mostly on the lee is of the hills.
I'm in denial about the exposed hill tops.

Note to self - take gloves.

The forecast for Sunday is now what it was for Saturday. Might even consider a lightweight wind proof ...

Apparently the course isn't all that muddy, only slippy on the chalky buts and on wet leaves

I'm packed. I've gone for trail shoes (not enough room in the case to bring both and given I only arrive in Eastbourne at about 10pm tomorrow I don't really have an opportunity to check out the terrain when I get there!)

Also looking forward to it.

And while I remember, which pub do people go to at the end?
