The weather forecast for the weekend is said to be slightly cooler than today but every time I look it has crept up a degree or two. Those of you who remember the event at Bradwell will know the importance of water.
The area on Saturday is well drained and there are no streams on the hill. Dehydration and heat exhaustion is a real risk. There will be a water station but do not rely on it. Your chosen route might not go past it but it will be marked on the map. There are one or two villages in the area but not many have pubs or shops to get liquid. Make sure that you take plenty of water with you.
There is one river on Sunday for the desperate but otherwise do not rely on finding water. There are no villages on day 2 to replenish. Again you must take plenty of water.
Be sensible and plan ahead. Know your limits do not over-stretch yourself. It is not worth it!
