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?
But I guess that's supply and demand for you. Be nicer if they removed the limit on numbers, made it half the price, removed the obligation to have to have 'motorised support crew' of at least two (don't get me wrong, my support were just brilliant - but it does mean that some folks have problems doing the race, and let's be honest there's a train running between FW and Tyndrum which has to help).
I'm sure it'll still be full by the end of the month. Better put some ink in the printer then...
I wonder why they don't let you use drop bags like the Fling. I mean if all our support crews can drive to all the different places then surely they could do it in a van with everyone's drop bags? I'm wondering about applying late and getting on the reserve list then they won't cash my cheque until much nearer the time... But then it would just be my luck that the year I do that all the reserve list don't get it! It's a lot of money to lose if you can't do it due to injury or any other reason for that matter
What are other folk doing about the back-up requirements? You must have a back-up vehicle (car, 4x4 if you have one (not required though!!)... Who fancies a fantastic day out in the beautiful North West of Scotland on the legendary West Highland Way, supporting the lovely Sophster? Team of 2 would be best: a driver/sandwich maker and a runner/Muller rice opener. Eternal gratitude, fetchie fame and gold and jewels will be yours. (*)
