But they don't have to run in big boots do they? Cos that always seems cruel to me

Jenny, sometimes, Thursday just gone, competed in a 12 miler carrying 25lb, weapon and yes in my big boots - emotional but that's what we do! In a crazy sort of way, sometimes easier to run in boots, more padding and support for the ankles

Er, yes Max. But they don't usually have to run 26.2 miles to engage in battle I think

Ladies, Max stop winding Jenny up you! Quite right, these days its armoured vehicles or choppers. The days of Sharpe are long gone - shame, soldiers were soldiers then - we're becoming too pc now! (Oh no entered into Politics - oops sorry) Still good to yomp across moors or climb Welsh mountains every now and again.

Whoops -- slight logistical error there - yes, I am on the list on the RW thread but copied this from Hilly's post just before I added my name!!!

But in a couple of weeks when entries close we can make a Fetch list. No need to do it yet :-)
