plodding hippo Apr 2014 12:58pm, 28 Apr 2014 50,573 posts	0 plodding hippo The tech t shirts were obtained from a box at the back of the pub thingy bit I did like the nikwax in the goody bag But yes, a bit overprieved for what yoiu got I still dont inderstand how the Cornish is £20 to enter, and you get a hoody (in corrrect size), medal, cup of tea, pasty and other stuff
XB Apr 2014 1:05pm, 28 Apr 2014 3,084 posts	0 XB I didn't get any Nikwax. 4 lollies, a packet of love hearts (small) a balloon and 2 pens is all I got. Fortunatley, Hipps, your other half told me where the t-shirts were otherwise I'd have gone home without one. I'm 51yo therefore lollipops and balloons stopped being appealing in the late 1960s.

becca7 Apr 2014 3:02pm, 28 Apr 2014 5,556 posts	0 becca7 I got a tiny lollipop. I am more disappointed that I did not get any Love Hearts as they (or even better Fizzers) would be a usual part of my marathon nutrition these days. I carry a pack to east in the last three miles as a treat and indeed did so on Sunday and at Boston.
