Guest Omega Man Posted September 18, 2013 Share But frankly the thing I'm most worried about is fitness. Last week I spent three hours in Jonkers just exploring on my ace and I was smashed. Had such cramps from the long periods of descending in squat position with dropper-post down. Kaput eksê! So time to pull those kettle bells closer and start pushing the squats and lunges Fitness won't be a problem. Hand pain (the claw) will. This is my strategy to combat it.I use those spring loaded hand squishi thingy's to strengthen my handsODI rogue grips. This seems counter intuitive cos they are quite fat.Hope brakes with the lever as close to the bar as possible. Makes for a more natural hand position.Arnica. I start taking it a week before we leave3 anti inflams a day. 1 in the morning 2 in the eveningdeep heat spray. I go through 2 tins over the 2 weeks. Just don't touch your eyes or dangly bits after you've sprayed it on.Embrace the pain. You'll be bummed when it's gone.

But 1st run down Pleney and we (Peach and myself) had to stop half way to rest our hands, as well as give a shout of excietment. The braking bumps of Les Gets had my hands so sor that I had to split my run into 3. We took Cataflam in the morning and the evening, for the first 2 days, after that we forgot/got used to it. We also iced our hands in the water troughs when opportunity arose. I wouldn't call it arm pump... cos it's not... but it does hurt, and I will take as much precaustoin as I can to minimize it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray_Lotus7 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Hi omega man Maybe put it in perspective how many spots are currently left? Who else from Hub land is coming on the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted September 18, 2013 Share Hi omega man Maybe put it in perspective how many spots are currently left? Who else from Hub land is coming on the trip?Only 7 payments have been received. 2 guys say they are paying this week but it only counts when the numbers display on the screen. Apart from you there's 5 other hubbers who say they are in. Then there's about 10 other people who say they are in. So theoretically we are oversubscribed but the numbers need to show on screen before it counts. Edited September 18, 2013 by Omega Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
