Maybe the concept isn't that far off the mark though. I have just bought a Beastmaker to regain some strength ahead of Font in May and my current standard is about that of a blue circuit punter.......logic!

People are always banging on about Font elbow, but by far the most serious injury (especially to an orange/ blue circuit punter like me :P) is Font toe, this is the potentially serious condition caused by stubbing your toes on a roots/ rocks/ gang of Dutch whilst trying to follow a circuit and forgetting to look at the ground.

I find one of the major issues is avoiding crushing/snapping a fresh baguette when trying to carry 6 pairs of boots/chalk/water/camera/guidebook/clothes in the same bag as well as a couple of pads. Need to invest in some sort of baguette protector similar to those banana ones  :-\

I must say I'm impressed. Both practical and highly fashionable!

:great: a forest, a quiver on your back ...would anyone else feel the need to accessorise with a green hat with a feather?

I find my daughter is now big enough to be enslaved as a food carrier. Most of it gets there, even a teenager can't eat a days food for three people on the walk in to Sabots.

Oh, Yorkshireman, a bit of training I forgot to mention... learn to cook.
