> yeah I understand the family feel thing.. its just for non scots its just a huge expense, and TBH that japanese guy was a last minute issue as he thought it was supported..
Yep, bit of a misunderstanding there, but good to see it so happily resolved!
> Of course you can put together a support crew but you'd not have the same trust and I think it would impact on your race, it would me.. you want crew who know you and you can trust.
Absolutely! Which is why I spent weeks waiting for confirmation from one such instead of just advertising on the FB page when two of my regular (three-time) crew were unavailable.
> I'd just rather pay 50 quid more and have 5-8 support stations..
Which I'd concede would be miles better than drop bags!
> But yeah there's no drive to change things as the race is over subscribed.
> Whats needed is another version of the race.. say like a challenge version..
Groan! Funny, perhaps, but maybe better not to fuel that particular fire?
