Midnight Friday start and a nominal schedule of 22.30 and 23.00!! live.opentracking.co.uk

Garfield Aug 2019 9:01am, 23 Aug 2019 10,940 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Definitely. Out of curiosity, how far in advance do you guys plan your rounds, and if the weather turns, would you cancel/postpone or 'manage' it as best you can?
Derby Tup Aug 2019 10:41am, 23 Aug 2019 33,814 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Some are planned months in advance with accommodation eg booked then. The more I’ve seen of Bobbing the more I believe there are weather conditions (wind and rain) that make a completion unlikely for all the the very strongest of runners. Postponing makes sense if you have that type of weather (I have first hand experience of such conditions)
