Message from Jen Longbottom who is currently on site with the organising team but out of contact because of lack of telecoms.
DRINKING WATER!
Only 26 hours ago we received the following message from the NT;
'You
need to be aware that the drinking water at Seathwaite farm has failed
a sample test and is non-potable. Treatment has been implemented but
the corroboration tests will not be complete before the event weekend.'
OUR ACTION
Emergency bowsers have been obtained but these are only sufficient for event catering. Therefore please bring your own bottled water for race drinks and make sure to boil well anything you use from the camp supplies. No cold drinks will be served post race Sunday for this reason.
PARKING at SEATHWAITE.
Is very tight and restricted by weather. Please make sure you allow extra time on Saturday morning and remember registration opens 3pm Friday though 11:30 pm and re-opens 6am Saturday;
SHOP aka OMM EXPO
Remains open until midnight Friday and opens again 6 am Saturday. There are good stocks of bad weather gear!
COURSES and EQUIPMENT
The decision to implement bad weather courses has not yet been taken.Regardless of course length it is important that you plan your course to avoid high ridges and not to skimp on clothing and equipment.
CONTACT
Jen Longbottom can be contacted from 10am Friday until 8am Saturday on
07017 419090.
Please do not ring after this time because this is the event emergency line.
Finally: Please check theomm.com website BEFORE you leave on Friday to make sure you are aware of any new messages we may post. This is most important.
