Know what you mean. I like to have some cash with me just in case.

Forecast is for rain, more rain, sleet and maybe snow. So a fun day out all round.

These boots were made for walking so that's just what I'll do. After I've re-proofed them of course...

Did it! ;D

Weather was appalling, when it wasn't raining it was sleeting, when it was sleeting it was snowing. Snowed pretty much all the time.

No blisters, but much chafing due to 6 hours of waterproof overtrouser wear  (when I took them off I steamed!). So ouch ouch ouch. Be right in a day or two though.

Apparently conditions were the worst they've been for years. Typical.

Thanks. Quite a high drop out rate apparently. At the 10 mile stage there's a soup kitchen type affair, someone collapsed there (he was fine after a few minutes).

My injuries (apart from maybe just not bothering with overtrousers next time, or getting some very very breathable ones) will be fine and I feel good (but thats a few good Single Malts for you). Shares in Germoline, Sudacrem and Savlon will be going up soon due to demand.  ;)

There wont be as report as such cos the weather meant I coudn't use a camera without it dying.  :(

I'll post the grand total when we know it, looks to be over £1000. Oh and best of all 5 started in our group and 5 finished.
