Taking drinks into HP

[The Doctor]

If it doesn’t go to plan then either i) I won’t make it out of the house in the first place or ii) I’ll bail out part way and be on the phone to my wife…

It’s marathon training - I’m pushing up my distance ahead of the Clarendon Marathon (Salisbury to Winchester) in early October. I need to go long tomorrow as I am away next weekend and might go up for the Derby match in September so I am running out of weekends.

It’ll be fine. I’ll have a water pack on my back so I won’t actually dry up. I was just being dramatic And attention seeking!!

[I meant The Ride, not the Drive of course]

I have this idea of running a marathon around the pitch at Home Park one day - lots of lots of laps so rather a different challenge. You could all sponsor me… It’d be about 140 laps I think although I’d need the pitch dimensions to make a better estimate… and permission from the club of course

I'm sure that could be organised.

In aid of Welicar?

 

[up the line]

There were times under Adams when I felt supporters should have been allowed in with a bottle of vodka

I’m not saying no… maybe split with something local too? I’ve thought about asking about this quite a few times but I am a master at having ‘great’ ideas and not putting them into action - it’s how I live my life. Actually, I’m not a master at doing this but THE master. The timing would have to be right in terms of my ‘training’ mind you.

(sorry to divert this thread - don’t forget to drink lots of water tomorrow everyone!)

Bottled drinks bought and in the freezer. Lightweight absorbant towelling put in freezer damp hopefully stop us cooking

You'll need it.

It's bleddy boiling out here today.

Just took this in the car park!!

 

[The Doctor]

Just in case anyone is interested/worried…! I’m back - it was 17 miles in the end and yes, it’s hot out there.

Glad I am not the only one. Though my lightweight absorbant towelling is a green tea towel.

Have been to asia several times where these temps are the norm. They wear wet toweling around their necks to help them keep cool

I’m worried today. Not for the result but for the conditions do health of players and supporters.

It’s simply too hot and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some health interventions during the match today .

I have lived in Kuwait, Hong Kong and Durban, hence why I have a damp tea towel in the freezer

 

[Guiri Green]

Some of us aren't worried as we're naturally cool 😎

Just went through security with 6 bottles of frozen (but rapidly thawing) water and two freezer blocks in a cooler backpack with no issues. They were more concerned with my sun screen
