petit trotte

[matt kowalski hicks]

hmm, seem to have got myself into something without thinking about it first !! any clues as to medical certificates ?? also some general advice on pre and post run acommodation and cheap flights would be handy

[mudskimmer]

You can download the medical certificate from the UTMB website.
You can get cheap flights to Geneva fro East Midlands.
Are there are several of us staying at a variety of accommodation in and around Chamonix.
Suggest you contact Julian and Mandy - who are also doing the LPT de L.

sorry - more questions

i've got it all booked and planned but we've only sorted accommodation for the sunday night afterwards

If by some miracle we finish on the saturday, is there somewhere to crash at the race centre or am i going to have to spend ALL night in a bar

[mudskimmer]

Accomodation ie. a room where you can crash down isn't provided by the race organisers. The event centre is a Leisure centre, but there isn't really anywhere there you could bed down for the night. You could spend the night in a bar at the race finish watching the UTMB'ers finish tho'.

does anybody know what the link is for the GPS tracking on google earth ? can't find any mention of it on the website - only in emails

might have something to do with not speaking french......

[mudskimmer]

Sorry don't know - but shouldn't you be on your way over there by now??
Good luck anyway and may see you in Cham. next Saturday/Sunday.

Does anyone know Julian's team name in the petit trotte ?
You can track the race progress live on 'google' (Started Wed 8:00) but you need to select the team name to see where they are ...

In theory the following page on the tmb website enables race numbers to be identified -

http://www.ultratrailmb.com/inscrits.ph ... ltinscript

which works for ccc & utmb races, but for some reason "Race Number" is blank for 'pt' team members...

If I get the chance I'll search for all Macc members & friends and quote the numbers on a post on this thread,

Julian et al are: 37 - MONTRAIL UK / MACCLESFIELD HARRIERS
The google earth facility on the UTMB site works well except that I haven't worked out how you get it to overlay the route so I don't know how they'e getting on other than they have made progress since yesterday afternoon.

[Dave Parry]

Thanks Digby. I'm sure the suffix of Macc Harriers to the Montrail Team name wasn't there yesterday Doh ...
To overlay the route just click on the dot-to-dot graphic for 'PTL' just underneath the team names ...
