I believe they have a raffle at the end - if so consider a hi-lift
jack donated (or equal value) - remind me nearer the time to get it
delivered or whatever.

This march we all finished at the daresbury park hotel, near runcorn.
2005 was "chucked together" because the MOD sites were pulled, but we
all ended up driving round some forest at 3am, in whiteout blizzard
conditions, and no checkpoint as we ;eft the forest. Many of us were
not checked in until 7am the following morning when the event
restarted.

For safety, a marshall ought to have been posted at the exit of the
stage to make sure everyone got out, rather than wait until the
following morning, people could have died of hypothermia in the
conditions we had.

Other than that it was an event that I largely enjoyed, but work
commitments prevent me from taking part in 2006.
