Yeah ice spikers would have been spot on for this year. Icy slabs of rock is probably the one thing I was least prepared for. Snow, rain, cold, mud wouldn't have bothered me - just not ice!
Shame I couldn't meet both of you - didn't have the energy for much aside from sitting in the van. Maybe next year? ...
I returned home to find that moments before I arrived the flat above had had a burst pipe, and the water had leaked all through the electrics in the ceiling and through the fire alarm, which set it off. So the lady in the flat below (who also had water coming through her ceiling) had called the fire brigade who arrived a few minutes after me. No electricity or heating for 24 hrs whilst everything dries out! Just what I needed

I'm getting ice spikes and spare wheels for next year.
Was going to go for 2 more laps when @Ecobeard got back at 7am but I wasn't mentally up to it and then the rain started so i just went to bed for two hours instead.
Although we were much less fit than last year i think we managed ourselves a lot better and put in some fairly consistent 2 lap stints. Bit of training this year and we'll be in better shape for 2020
