Walk all the hills brer rabbit - that was the best piece of advice I got given two years ago.
and yes, you can just stay on course 24 hours, or take breaks at the end of each lap if you want. I grabbed a 45 minute nap when i did my 11 laps in 2011

Did you keep going for entire 24 hrs except 45 min nap? I'll be on my own so have to factor getting food from somewhere

Soloist have reserved camping area right next to the course so it's very easy and quick to leave course and grab food. I went for mainly portable food. Most laps found me walking the first few hundred yards munching on a pasty or pie or supping on a bottle of flat coke.

Oh wow, reserved camping. I'll be kipping in the back of the car..if I kip at all but can certainly have stash ready in there..don't know if I could manage a pasty though! Sounds nicer than a SIS gel. Keep your tips coming as I need every one of them.
I need to add an avatar too, only go on Runners World normally but I see I will defo need to frequent Fetchie site much more now!!!!!

Brer - best piece of advise I can give is - beleive in yourself. If you dont have self beleive then you may as well forget it. Its 99% in your head. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other - simples! :-) :-)
