TTC 2013 - Final Instructions

Bit late with this post, its been a hectic week of late nights with one thing and another.

Latest weather forecast here. Should be dominated by high pressure for the whole weekend and dry! It may be misty in the mornings though, so bring a warm layer or two.

You can arrive at the Trossachs Backpackers Hostel from 3.30pm onwards (however you won't know what room you are in until I arrive with the sheet at about 4pm). See the separate blog post for directions to the venue. First run will be at 5.30pm prompt. Please be here and ready to run otherwise it is dinner and no run! Please let me know if you are not going to make the  run (or dinner) on 07867863741. If you are not going to be there at all, then please let me know; I can then re-shuffle the room allocations to make things a bit more spacious.

You will need to bring the following with you;
• 4 run outfits - please check weather and dress appropriately
• Waterproof/water resistant jacket - just in case.
• Running shoes (we strongly recommend you bring a spare pair!)
• Running socks - lots (at least 4 pairs)
• Casual outfit for dinner
• Bedding will be provided but you'll need to bring a towel or two.
• Water bottle and something to put in it e.g. energy drink for Sunday long run
• Your own toiletries
• Any medication you require
• PYJAMAS (the rooms are dorms!!)
• A yoga/gym mat or large towel to lie on when doing the conditioning sessions.

Dinner on the first night is at 7.30pm ....if you're running late.
Allow enough time for travelling, the road can be very busy if you are travelling at rush hour.

There will be a welcome notice at the main reception on this you will find:
1. room information
2. pack information
3. and a reminder of what you've ordered for dinner!

Otherwise, just ask Frances, Eddie, Russell or me when we arrive (at about 4pm). Note that the hostel owners, do not know who is in which rooms, so no point in asking, just wait till I arrive.

I was wondering if anyone is leaving for the TTC from Glasgow City Centre tomorrow evening that could possibly give me a lift to Callander?

I don't finish work until 5:30pm though so would be missing the Friday run.

My car is in the garage and may or may not be fixed on time for me to drive up tomorrow so I was hopefully looking for a back-up plan in advance.

I won't make it to the club tonight tonight either so if anyone can help please can they leave a comment on here?

Many thanks,

Graham (Ramage)

Problem solved - having my car dropped off at the office tomorrow morning so unless they've not fixed it properly I'm sorted.

If anyone else needs a lift from the City Centre I'll be leaving around 6pm.
