Weekend Plans

I'm not out for utup this week. I'm off up to Dockray for the start of the 'Great Lakeland 3 Day' details here http://www.greatlakeland3day.com/

Course Stats would suggest 'B' course for me!!!


(The approximate course distances and height gains are shown in the table below. These are based on the planners optimum route (i.e. not a straight line between the checkpoints)).

B Course Day 1 (optimal)32.59km/1,961m
                Day 2 (optimal)33.76km/ 2,526m
                Day 3 (optimal)24.44km/ 1,596m
A Course 41.52km/ 2,481m
                42.80km/ 3,081m
                29.81km/ 2,191m
E Course 48.43km/ 2,968m
               47.11km/ 3,705m
               41.25km/m 2,458m

One of the latest emails I've had is a request for the 'Solo' entrant to add their club/team name to the details. As I'm not looking at this as a race as such, more a cracking 3 days out on the hill with someone else doing the transport logistics. I was thinking rather than put 'Salford Harriers' I'd have a team name that would reflect my slightly more relaxed attitude. Well relaxed as I can be about the prospect of 50+ miles in 3 days.

Other than the obvious 'toothfairy' and bearing in mind it is a navigating + camping event so far I've come up with
'Where am I?'
'Which way's North?'
'How many more lines to that triangle thingy?'
'Mine's the green tent'
'One gel short of a picnic'

any other suggestions?
