Jukola/Venla

AFAIK no Brit has ever been in a winning team (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Only one.

[Becks]

I just hope I'm going to be back in time to watch the finish! I'm sure I will be

It's all about having a Duncan running first leg for your team. Kristiansand 1 and NOPE Team Banter 1 have it spot on.

Loofa - don't worry about not introducing us on Tuesday - as long as I know what he looks like a week Saturday then I'll be happy. I don't fancy running down a line of 500 finns shining a headtorch beam in their face to find my teammate.

Good luck to the 3 Brit teams this weekend! Can't find any information about internet coverage this year, has anyone else had any success?

Worldofo will have there blog going again I belive. Was very good for NOC.

Hope I can find somewere to park up down Warham way where I can get my dongle working to look in on the action for the first leg at least.

"Grassie, you will go on my first whistle. Contenders ready? Gladiators ready? "

Don't worry about needing sharp elbows Duncan, just play your bagpipes during the warm up and eveyone elase will so distracted and make mistakes.

Best of luck, all of you.

Ferries going soon

I hope I come out of the forest before the ferry back...(am hanging onto the "lots of paths" comment)

So will the Brit teams have flags up so we can recognise their tents?!

[Gross]

Enjoy traditional Makkara on the Esplanade in Helsinki waiting for the ferry home

[Big Jon]

Have a great time all of you lucky people running Venla and Jukola. I envy you, maybe I'll try again next year!

Good luck, and may your batteries stay charged long enough to get to the last control

I'm afraid my linguistic skills are limited - is the message when I follow the link "not found" or "not yet available"?

[Gross]
