ok well i have to come clean about that last post...
part of the reason for the trip was as a recce for this event next march... and if you look at the website you'll see its worth taking pretty seriously: 40mile night navigation, 4 out of the past 10 years it has been covered in snow!
sounds like fun.. well to me it does.. combine silly running with hills and you're onto a winner as far as i'm concerned. i have a team lined up so just a matter of seing if we get in this year!
another thing i like is maps.... and i've just spent the past hour marking up the 20 checkpoints on my OS maps.... with nice translucent orange stickers.... and yellow ones for emergency/contingency routes!
an immensely satisfying task.. and another reason for you all to think me a little strange.
i'm itching to mark the intended route but i can't do that till i recce the rest of it.. which obviously i'm itching to do too!
hurrah.
