Compulory equipment:  Take your mobile telephone with you ICE, with the same number you signed up with.

There are a wide range of public transport links to get you to the Voodoo Keller Bar.  Buses, trains, bicycles, hire scooters and walking.  There are local car-parks within a 2 minute walk too.  (DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE obviously!)  Find a nominated driver or use a nearby cab if you can't get home by other means.)

Register inside the Voodoo Keller Bar from 1200hours.  Run starts at 12:30.  Runners set off slowly climbing up the stairs out of the basement.

Check point 1:  The tap room within the brewery.  Make yourself known to the marshal will note your arrival and hand you a drink token.  Relax with a pint/wine/soft-drink.  Let the marshal know when you are going to head off again so we can mark your departure.  Once the tail runner has arrived, you have a maximum 15 minutes to drink up and head off.

At the end of the course, be careful entering the Voodoo Keller Bar as it is down steps.  See the marshal to stop the clock.  Collect your medal and wear it everyday until Christmas morning.

(It's likely we may stay on for more than one........)

(The narrative will be added to the website in December, although this is a Strava/GPX based event with the narrative serving as a back up.)
