think he Musgrave did pretty well running under someone else's name in 1995, I ran on that area a few years ago and it is rock-hard in the day, think he was 3rd or something on Long night just behin Tom Buhrer

please get your facts correct - I swapped with Lars Simenson as I'd been in bed all week with a stinking cold.... ran 2nd leg - fastest time by 1.45 :

2nd back on first leg last year?

[Kitch]

I'll give £280 (£40 per head) to the men's team if they beat 31st place for 1993 GB team....... Go on you want it!

please get your facts correct

we were 41st in 93

I reckon there is a good chance of you parting with your money
can the TM have 40 quid too ?

2nd back on first leg last year?

Nope I'm stumped GG... seem to remember someone pussying out and letting Oberg sprint past, was it a Scot?

[gg]

might have been, he was in the lead at the tv control with 500m to go....

[harry]

will he get another chance this year?

[mharky]

will 500m left to go Kelly Holmes and Yuri Borsikovsky were in last place

I am mad keen for this - having realised I'm going to be denied holidays later in the year and seeing that this can be done in a weekend without any holidays off and quite cheaply by ryanair flights + bus. Also everyone has been telling me that this is the event to go to. Unfortunately I don't have a team.

Does anyone know any team needing an extra runner - i may be more sh*t, rather than THE sh*t but I'm a journeyman able to get round anything put in my way without a disaster night or day.

Unlike John Candy I don't need a lousy 20 grand as well as 4 jamaicans to get to the olympics - but if someone could get me a team or knows someone who might be able to help, pm me NOW! Unless I get something arranged in the next week I probably won't book anything (unless it is clear that there will be teams needing runners AT the event).

Cheers,
Duncan

I'd go on spec anyway.... you'd be almost certain to pick something up there! And even if you don't get a run then it's a great atmosphere & I'm sure Andy Kitch & SEDS would be glad of some help. I guess you'd be going to Tampere & on up to Mikkeli from there?

If I hear of anything this week I'll let you know............

[Becks]

Grassie! I'm the same situation as you with holidays (or lack of) and would love to try and raise a banter team over the next week if you're keen! Anyone else out there?

[Meat Market]

Is there some kind of 2-person sled option if we don't manage to find 5 more jamaicans? Flights less than 100 quid at the moment booking from London.

Thanks Gross I may well spectate but might not be able to hold myself back when i see the massed start judging from RossCos summary from last year: http://www.nopesport.com/news/1126-jukola-rosco-speaks-

[greywolf]

how much of it is actually in the dark? I remember (vaguely) a long midsummer night's drinking in Joensuu a few years ago and i don't think it got dark at all...
and can you get there from Scotland?

[Becks]

None of it is properly 10mila style dark, but it's a wise idea to have a light to fine navigate under trees for 1-4 legs, depending on how good you are!

There's no direct options from Scotland as far as I can tell - what are the SEDS guys doing? Mharky? Kitch?

[Kitch]

BA via Heathrow to Helsinki for a couple of days of pre training.

[graeme]

I'm flying from Satansted-Tampere in Friday and hiring a car. It may have 1-2 Crickmores in it. Barrable is trying to get us runs with Ravinen. Kitch has me as 4th reserve for SEDs (i.e. I ain't getting a run with them!). As far as I can tell, Rossco, Kitch and Coombes are also currently in reserve.

I need a team sh*t enough that I dont have to go out in the dark...
