We have a web-page and moving accommodation.....

Just in case we didn't have enough online presence, we have now brought all of our various web-pages together in a central page which is looking pretty good (thanks Evan for the design!).  Check it out here:

I also received an e-mail today from the Scottish Youth Hostel Association advising me that they have decided to completely renovate one of the hostels that we were due to be staying in and so 8 of us have (hopefully temporarily) been made homeless for one of the nights of the event.  Sorry for any of you who were looking forward to staying in the somewhat grand looking Carbisdale Castle during the event:  Looks like a gaping hole in the roof and inclement weather has put paid to this being an overnight stop.  Oh well - isn't sleeping considered cheating during this event in any case??

20 Runners confirmed

Finally we've got a full team of confirmed runners with Stragglers men's captain Roy Reeder coming on board and deciding that he should be able to hack the sleep deprivation.  We have though recently lost our treasurer, Andrew Lane, as he has succumbed to a family wedding in Leeds on the Friday of the JOGLE event.  Fortunately though he tells me that he hasn't absconded with the team's funds and will continue to manage the teams financial affairs and I've even managed to drag out an 'Andrew replacement' in the far more attractive guise of new Straggler, Kristin Simmers, who has been added to the 'meet the team' page.  Kristin hails from the US and adds an additional continent to the already represented continents of Europe, Africa, Australasia and Wales amongst the JOGLE team crew.......

Anyway, back to the map-making.......
