Outlaw 2013

Ach I'm also stuck waiting til payday...how quickly did it sell out last year ? Do I need to panic/beg/borrow or am I safe to wait a few days?

yellow last year I was very surpliced to see if sell out by november it's getting to be a popular race so there is a risk it will sell out but doubt it. If the entries get about say 700 in the next day or so i would sell a kidney or something but other wise don't panic.

Looks like I'll be plodding around that feckin lake again next July.

I have serious unfinished business with this amazing race.

I'm in.

Holgs and Cake you two are the damn reason I've parted with my hard earned cash .... not actually admitted to husband I've done it yet mind!! Whopps!

thanks cake, I will start looking at market prices for major organs at the weekend...

You'll be able to kick me Pixie as you storm past.

@ Mathschick we're in I've also entered Toucs for the individual while he popped out to the shops for a pasty

 chuck if you feel the need on the day please not the face kick me in the ball's or something.

Cool I have 2 targets!! Mind you I will be behind the pair of you!

Actually serious question (I am SO sorry for being serious!)

What is the score with camping and showers? I expect to finish near on 11 and have to be in school before 8 the next day. If I drive home I won't get home until about 1 so I wondered about staying Sunday night and going straight to school (Derby) would that be a goer?

Can someone let us know more about the camping details in a whole, cost, arrival dates locations in respect to the event facilities e.t.c?

Holgs I thought you were skipping the long stuff next year, or was that another pirate?

Discussions have started with my family, hubby has said ican if I really want to but I must promise not to get hurt or damage myself training etc. So just the kids to talk round now

I shall be good and not enter until they've all mumble the word OK or Yes or any variation on that theme.

The camping is right by the start, you couldn't stay any closer without hiring a boat for the lake.  I realised 10 minutes before the start I'd left my timing chip in the tent and was able to run over and get it, panic a bit more, then get in the water with lots of time.

The camp site is nice enough, lots of space though it did go from pretty empty on Friday night quite full by Sat night, still lots of places to camp though, no worries about not finding a space. (Plus there will probably be a Pirate area bagsied )

The facilities are ok, but basic.  Cost was cheap, think £7ish per night per person per tent.  No need to book, just turn up.

You can get cooked food from the cafe/restaurant next to the lake and I think the camp site had a small shop where you check in.

Thanks Pingu, another little panic over

Oh gawd

great  better work on the running then. I did get a 5 mile pb last night first time I have ever done a 5 mile race, but I was still very happy with my time

But only if you like dry toast - or fancy getting up early!!

And yes, I'm sure we'll be "reserviing" a Pirate area at the camp site again

I think it was December when it sold out last year

I wouldn't be suprised if it sells out earlier this year - it's a great race, increasing in popularity and with the tv coverage (although perhaps only insomniacs saw it...) it might get even more of a boost. 

Still undecided...

I'm in with my team.

A family affair, me run, OH cycle, sister-in law (or me) swim. I think I'll call us "The Lancashire Hotpots".
