Being committed will make me go and do it rather than knowing I could go try solo but never bothering 'cos life etc. Plan is to camp night before & this decision Haa been helped by news all competitors in all races need carry full sleep kit & cooking gear as mandatory (FB thread got quite heated). The kit list doesn't yet reflect this but will be updated apparently. When i did same for Gritstone Grind I had a massive weight penalty vs those bussed to the start so this time I know it'll be more equal. I'll probably camp out after the finish too unless I arrive at dawn.
