mikey_a Jul 2013 10:45pm, 20 Jul 2013 140 posts	0 mikey_a Last long run today (I hope) along the route. Was simply stunning in the sun and its days like that where I wish I could take non-runners or road runners with me and show them what they're missing out on. The fact we can be in that sort of scenery within a couple of hours of Edinburgh still blows my mind.

K5 Gus Dec 2014 10:39pm, 4 Dec 2014 1,141 posts	0 K5 Gus I see Johnny Fling has taken this race over and immediately announced 3 important changes that many runners have moaned about in the past :- a) Car support is no longer mandatory b) Water will now be supplied on the route - BoO, Glencoe, KLL, Lundavra c) 2 drop bags can be handed in for Glencoe & KLL checkpoints Great news, the car support had put me off doing this in the past. Tempted now for 2015

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. (*)

It's Sat 7 August. Come on Fetchland.

* I may have lied about the gold and jewels
