Logistics For 29th - 30th

I guess it’s time to put the logistics for my BG attempt to the top of the page. We now have support for each leg, but there is still time to volunteer! The more the merrier. Duncan and John H have very kindly volunteered to man the Bongo and Karen Olivia and Rufus will be helping them. Dawn and Jane are also going to be on hand for some of the round.

For those on the support Legs make sure you pack food etc for yourselves for the leg, Karen, Duncan and John will look after you at the handover points. For those who will be running in the dark, (leg 2 and 3) make sure you have tourches!

The table shows the planned times for the road crossings but these may change depending on progress.
