So who is decending on the Mighty Burgh this weekend?

i hear middleditch and northropp are racing with T-O'D, a pretty hot team, what class are you in guys?

anyone else from the world of O taking part?

don't worry about Gross shouting at you for doing it either!!

Cor news travels fast...only just selected the team.. harry you big goss.

No worries Bruce -we're only doing Novice (only last minuite entry available!), so won't threaten the top teams!

Right you are -see you at the weekend.

looking like it'll have cooled down by the weekend thankfully, was out running some of the sections last night and it was stupidly hot!

Going to be a damn good weekend of racing tho with some great fun sections.
whats the SS line up this weekend brucey?

I'll be there - but then you probably guessed that.

Do I get to put faces to Nopesport IDs, given you've got a stand there? Looking forward to lots of O, rather than just lots of tarmac running (though I guess we still get that) - I don't suppose anybody's supposed to let on whether it's more technical than Bristol, but I might as well try asking I suppose, given they've told us we need to know our way round an O map.

I'd have expected that most of the parks that are mapped and the arthurs seat map will be used, so expect lots of O.

it will be ace, thats all i know, sounds like there are some good teams in for the hunt.

hope this weather holds, need to top up my tan, but going to be warm in those black t-shirts!!

but we do get to swim at some point! all of us, woo hoo!!

by **brooner** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:39 pm

and just get wet in many other places round the course too

by **the duncan** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 2:36 pm

man, i don't want to get too wet, i bust my phone in bristol, don't want it to die again!! anyone got one of them waterprooof phones i can borrow?

by **mharky** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 2:52 pm

why do you take a phone? serisouly kwesetion.

by **Adventure Racer** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 3:00 pm

Because it's on the kitlist. Mine's water resistant, but the answer is ziplock bags (standard AR kit) - preferably 2 in case one leaks (I've bust a phone doing AR before, but that was an abseil with a drop into water IIRC).

Oh, I'm sorry, I never realised that adventure racing was such a soft cock sport, that makes it lamer than fell running where they force you to take full gortex's.

Better safe than sorry though...
