The weather doesn't look great. Wet and a shade windy. Pack warm and bring full wet gear

I'm not sure how mandatory meeting in the burrendale before hand is... as it would suit me to get down to Newcastle around 8ish ..... I was considering just driving down and parking at BB, then in the morning, shooting off home, forgoing the free breakfast.....

But, I'd need someone to pick up my goody bag (hopefully)  :)

As far as I'm aware it's important that people officially check in and check back out again for safety reasons I'm afraid. Plus we need to be at the Burrendale to fill out some paperwork and get final instructions on evac routes etc.

We need to be at the Burrendale for 7pm. It's important to not be late as they need to offload us and free up the minibuses again.

Also, I got an official 'no drinking' instruction so no pre-hike carbs at the Burrendale I'm afraid!

Best of luck Shamara, I was actually on the operating table myself yesterday!  Thankfully back home now and resting up.  We should organise a walking wounded day in the hills soon ;)

Good luck Shamara.

Do we know if we're going to get a feed at the Burrendale? Last year there was a big old pot of stew to throw down us at the exit briefing took place, but I'm seeing not mention of it this year.

No stew this year I'm afraid. No word as to why, probably wanting to get us in and out quickly.

Chuck, could you bring your two radios and lend one to one of the other checkpoints? That way we would have enough for one at each checkpoint.

I take it there will be no problem with me leaving my car at BB as long as I am at the burrendale first , if anyone needs a lift in morning who want to miss out brekkie I will give them a lift back to their cars

I might take you up on that offer Scribble. If you wanted you could drop your car at BB earlier and I'll drive you back to the Burrendale. Save all the to-ing and fro-ing.

I suspect that would be okay but anyone leaving early would need to let the organisers know at the Friday night registration.
