Glad It’s Over - And That’s Before Mayhem’s Even Begun
Well, after five near-solid days in bed with flu, unable to do anything other than wince, I’m finally near enough mended and where I was supposed to be yesterday; at Eastnor Castle, preparing for this weekend’s T-Mobile Giant Mountain Mayhem. The course conditions this afternoon were sunny and breezy, with ground firm, but soft enough for tent pegs. However, that was before 30 minutes of torrential rain, so I can’t comment now. You’ll certainly want to bring knobblies rather than semi slicks if you’re stuck for space. One good thing though; the handover area is under a big marquee so shivering in the rain hopefully won’t add to your woes.
I’ll see if I can give you updates for the next day or so, just in case you need any more convincing on buying wellies
