To be honest we end up with a tonne of leftovers from people’s drop bags. If you aren’t too fast you could have just about anything at half way. Not to mention the party atmosphere is more established by then :)

I always peruse the leftovers. Sometimes you see something you really fancy that you haven't thought of.

Did 18 miles today. Two gels and some lucozade sport did me. Tried a couple of squashies. Not for me. Too much chewing! Custard sounds nice. Maybe a better consistency for me to stomach.

In my first D33, I just had a banana left at half-way - name and number written on it in biro. Plus a few gels carried. Perfect.

More dropbag checkpoints (1/4 and 3/4) these days.

Thanks for looking after it so well, not a bruise in sight.

I wasn't expecting any sort of dropbag, so it was a last-minute change to the plans.

I am hoping to have chips in Ballater. And I'm looking forward to cups of tea since I will have crew to make them!

Haha _andy, you've got to eat proper food when you're out for a long as me! I still fondly remember the chips I had at Glencoe during my fastest whw race.
