SPINE SEASON!
We continue Spine Season with the return of Lindley Chambers, the king of all things kit list related.
Lindley comes on the podcast to discuss everyone's favourite subject...the kit list for the Winter Spine Race. In this episode we discuss the recent changes to the list, controversial items being added/removed and the reasons for it. We discuss the changes to navigation equipment, mapping and checkpoints.
We also talk about some of the issues that keep coming up for first time Spiners and what the race and the course expect from them! We discuss how technology is starting to help with kit checks and how he still gets hundreds of emails asking the same old questions every day. But, as he freely admits, he wouldn't have it any other way. Lindley firmly believes that if you're asking kit questions, then you're thinking about the race seriously, and there's nothing he wants more for this year's competitors!
If you're doing any of this year's races then this is a must listen!
