nyone wanting to enter really must get them in by the 15th as we're going to be really strict on this and will be loathe to offer late entries, as we're going to have some fun (erm) logistics to deal with!

There goes the 'BAREBONES' principle out the window then:)

well we did think about having the start on the mainland and letting people get over to the island any which way they like, but didn't think that'd go down too well... I think we're keeping it pretty barebones to be honest, and transport to the area is kind of essential!

....we're starting to worry about getting this many people over to Kerrera!............transport to the area is kind of essential.......

All this discussion about getting TO the event. Hope you aren't going to leave us there

Does it rain less on Kerrera? Can I become a cheep farmer and live off the land?

If so I'd like to be left behind please

[brooner]

a cheep farmer?



It hasn't ever rained on Kerrera while I've been there...

Sorry, did we not make it clear that the ferry tickets are only one way?! It'll be like that bbc castaway thing all over again

According to the map on Oentries there's a bridge

Wow, you Nopesport lot are even more multifaceted than I realised

According to the map on Oentries there's a bridge

Reminds me of this cartoon...

[greywolf]

329 entries (and still 40 minutes to go) - might be worth building that bridge ...
or at least hiring a bigger boat

just a reminder that entry prices go up a little come the 31st July, ....

I was waiting for someone else to ask about this, but no-one has, so here goes.

Entry fees per day:

Students/Juniors - £4

No mention of an increase in fees on the event website except for the weekend package, but Oentries charged me £7 per day. How were we supposed to know that daily fees were increasing?
