Devils Burdens Arrangements

These are the details we discussed tonight at the final meeting for the Devils Burdens.
The registration time is from 8.30 and the start times are 9.30 for Team A and 10.30 for Team B. Therefore Team A are leaving from Calderglen at 7.15 am. with 2 cars. Team B are leaving from Calderglen at 8.15. and only need 1 car as Alan is going direct.
Each team will deal with their own registration.
Given that the race is a relay there will be the need for dropping runners off and picking runners up at each crossover point. Each team will arrange this.
Each runner needs to carry some minimum gear. This includes:
Hat,
Gloves
Windproof jacket
Running tights or leggings
Map, a print from the website is OK
Compass (can be shared with team mate) DONT BUY ONE
If you have a bumbag it is easier to carry and lighter otherwise a small rucsac is fine.
If it is cold it would be a good idea to wear a long sleeved top with your Calderglen vest on top with your jacket in the bum bag or worn.
The race will involve much hanging around regardless of what leg you are in so it would be a good idea to have plenty of spare warm  gear to change into at the end of the race.
There will be soup and rolls at the end of the race in the village hall at Falkland but you may wish to have something to eat and drink while waiting on other runners to finish.
It should be a good day with  good weather hopefully  and some fun in between the hard work.

Thanks for the details. I've picked up a four door estate car for tomorrow so we have plenty of room - even if its wet! I also have several compasses that can be shared around as we'll as maps. Look forward to seeing you all.
