There’s Peter in the middle, he’s always pleased to see me, it reassures him.

A side view of the registration excitement.
After registration, entrants then get their tracker.
Jane and Sara helping with the tracker placement.

Entrants then scan here and their bag is taken to the breakfast stop. It’s a huge transportation effort moving 500 bags to the mid-way point.
Michael at the start on car park duty.
Richard is briefly allowed into the control room.
Patman (he likes this name) busy doing the PAT testing.
Jon and Simon at the helm of the control room.
Now it’s busier.
Still only half the entrants here though. The main start is at 10:00, but there are other start times of 12:00 and 14:00.
