I ran in 2x merino layers plus carried a third dry one plus Omm rotor vest & Montane prism jacket for night time, all this is "still warmish when wet" gear to help combat the cold sweat chills you describe. Defo test kit locally before hitting the lakes.
EfGB was a blast and I'm really keen to do it again, should've been 2021 but unlikely now as organisers 2020 events will be in 2021. I'd grab hot food / drink for on the move in passing if opportunity, just not carry that stuff, loading up with more dry fruits & nuts / snack bars instead.

Thanks for the info! I’ve got a light bivvy set up, but my concern is that I get horribly cold after sweaty long runs, so would have to bring a fair amount of warm clothes to make it enjoyable.
On second thought, I might consider doing a similar route to the BG round, but stopping at youth hostels some nights.
No hot food or drink?! That’s determination! Did you enjoy esc GB? Looks like a mad race.
