This is something I wouldn't mind trying. I would like to think I can easily walk 15 miles at a good pace and my navigation is fine. Tempted.

Anyone looking for a partner for C or D class? I did C last year but my partner can't make it this year unfortunately.

All the best folks.  I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on.  That's a good weight Claire.

That's me packed also. Sitting at 5.3kg before water (or the map/compass which will be in my hand)... although 2.3kg of that is food  ;D

I lost energy near the end of day 2 last year so am carrying more calories. Ditching the ipod shuffle, air pillow, gas can legs, and the spare socks (& just wearing the required 3/4 instead of shorts) is about all I could do to lighten up... actually, all that would save about 400g from the bag... but it'll be too hot for the 3/4 legs and the other bits help me to be fresh and ready to go so I'll shirk eliteness and carry them anyway.

Ho hum, I'll be flying light on day 2 when I'm done eating :)

I'll be wearing a yellow cycle cap so do say hello at camp (or if we cross paths en route).

All ready to go. C Class again for me and Mrs M. Not expecting to retain our Mix Vet title as an injury has hampered training and decision to run was only made two weeks ago. Looking forward to a slightly more relaxing run.

Packs totalling 9.5kg - banking on it being a warm night! Good luck to everyone.

...now where's my pasta!!

 :o you must have sewn the sleeping bags together to save weight  8) 

Well the new car passed the MOT so time to start packing, aiming for 10kg each all in (will start with 2kg water each, not fussed on drinking from streams)

I went with extra cals so I don't die on day two.  Will be wearing a white cap with a big tall Englishman as my partner. Hope to get a yarn with some ni wilders

Phew, finally finished packing, I HATE PACKING  >:(  ended up with 10kg (incl all food and water) each (35L packs) so no beer  :-\  2kg each of water so could swap some for beer but its looking quite warm tomorrow so maybe play safe and drink the beer now  :) 2kg of food, hope thats enough (mainly dehydrated stuff & cereal bars), not sure if i'll pack a lunch or get a big fry on the way there in the morning  ???  Had to sacrifice the sleeping mats due to lack of space rather than weight, have packed a couple of reflective mats though. Hopefully it'll be a soft field, if not i'll be the one carrying bales of hay from a neighbouring field  ;D

Just had a look at the entry list, I see there's only 25 in my class (D) so i'm going to aim for a top 10 finish (27th on last attempt in 2011), or maybe i should just aim for a finish.
