Anybody else doing the L50 that is seriously considering running/walking/crawling it in road shoes, particularly if this warm/dry spell continues for the next three weeks? I'm definitely going to take my Ghosts and ATR6's.

I think the mandatory kit is trail shoes so technically you would need to carry them in your pack if you go with road shoes I’m usually a road shoes guy but it is quite rocky/shale in places so was happy with a bit of extra grip |

I think there’s going to be enough loose stone and uneven ground to make trail shoes the right choice. I’m not sure it’s just a dry vs wet and muddy decision. I wore my intermediate Brooks Cascadias on RTTS yesterday and, although quite a few people were in road shoes, there was just enough loose and uneven ground for me to be pleased to have the stiffer soles.

Unless I've not read the instructions, never seen anything about footwear? And I know that Charlie Sharpe in the year he finished the L100 in second place to Stuart Mills wore Saucony Ride's!

And the L100 is definitely more technical than the L50. Not sure I'd want to descend at night in road shoes from Black Sail!!!
