 This inauspicious car park at Covrack in Cornwall is the start line of the archivatrician 100 miler. So we all start literally here, just at the entrance to this car park. Your coach will come down the road here and park and let you out. You'll wait here and then at midday you will start running and you'll head down the road. Down here there'll be flares, there'll be lights, there'll be drums banging. It'll be incredibly noisy and incredibly exciting for about 10 minutes and then you're on your own on the coast path. So you head down this road. If it's beautiful weather like this you will be very very lucky indeed and then you'll head out along the coast road and then up through the village and eventually onto the coast path itself. In my experience there is often a mud crew staff member who leads the run out through the village of Covrack. Now just in case you aren't aware and you should be by now the coast path is marked by these acorn signs. So wherever you are on the 100 mile route look out for these signs with the acorn. One thing that really isn't mentioned often enough is how difficult and technical the first section of the coast path is from Covrack to Lizard Point. So it's around about 10 miles possibly a little bit more if there are any diversions but it will be around 10 miles and it will take you a long time. When I say a long time two and a half hours is not uncommon even longer than that. It is quite technical terrain. The difference being that you are fresh so it doesn't feel like it's quite as technical. So just be aware of that when you set out from Covrack on the first 10 miles of your route. Next up Lizard Point. So at 10 miles in to the arch of attrition 100 mile you come to Lizard Point. You'll pass the Waila station, you'll pass the lighthouse just down there ahead of us. You can see the cafe and the car park of Lizard Point. This is the first kind of major place where your crew can meet you and most people will be getting here at around about two and a half to three and a half hours into the race. Absolutely beautiful scenery here. The cliffs are stunning and you can see the terrain underfoot on this section is very pleasant indeed. Nice soft compact mud dirt but if it's raining this will be much much more treacherous and earlier on in the run during the first 10 miles actually some of the most difficult sections of the whole run. It's just that because you are fresh legged then it doesn't feel so bad but actually it's really quite technical in that first 10 miles. So as mentioned if you do have crew then this is one of the earliest points that they can meet you on the course. That car park there is quite small. There is a larger car park just a bit further up the hill where your crew can park. Please do remember that a lot of the car parks are national trust or pay car parks so be aware make sure that you do pay. I've been caught out before and got a fine in the post so make sure you pay for your car parks. If you are self-supported you basically just run straight through this section. Runners will come through the car park here past the cafe. Whoever lives there has a beautiful view every morning. That's back up towards the lighthouse. This is a really good marker point to get to in the race. You've got an idea of what the course is like now you've got an idea of how long it's going to take you to cover the terrain so you can use that as a marker for the next 90 miles. When you reach Lizard Point you breathe a sigh of relief the first bit is over and the running does get a little bit easier after this point for the next 15 miles or so before you get to Port Levin. I'll pass another cafe up these steps and then you can see there it is two and a half miles to Kinance Cove and it's 40 miles to the halfway point which is pretty much land's end. So stick around next video in the series is Kinance Cove. So welcome to a beautifully sunny but very windy Kinance. We're about a mile away from Kinance Cove itself. This is the old coast path here that I'm pointing out. You can see where the fence is there that's where the old coast path used to go but it's now fenced off and the reason for that is because of coastal erosion. You can see in the distance there where some of the cliff has fallen into the sea. The old coast path used to go along there it's simply too dangerous now either the coast path doesn't exist anymore because it has fallen into the sea or it's very close to the edge. So the council have built a new or constructed a new coast path there you can see some brand new steps and this really is very very new indeed. I had never seen this before until I got here to to have a look. So this has all been newly constructed. There's a Kinance Cove one mile acorn. You can see how new that wooden strut is there and you get to this section here. So there again I think that's possibly part of the old coast path there joining on and this well this is beautiful isn't it? Nicely almost paved road to run on here. You didn't get this a few years ago and still a little bit of mud and if it's raining it might be a bit slippy but generally this section now is very nice and generally the running here all the way to Port 11 is not too bad at all. Just a few places where you might wonder where the coast path is but when you're at sections like this it's absolutely fine and you'll enjoy running on this bit. I think I was pointing at where I thought maybe some of the old coast path was there but look here you're basically on grass not entirely sure where the coast path might be. Don't wander too far to the edge there but again just have to kind of wander a bit over and you'll find the path again. There are various different little routes that you can take over this area but here we are back on this new path heading towards Kynance Cove itself and down there a few years ago used to go down onto the shingle beach and have to avoid the waves as they crashed in to the little cove. I'm not sure I'm sure somebody will say in the comments if we do that now but the Kynance Cove is a very pretty little cove and next up we have Mullion Cove. This is Mullion Cove so this is about 16-17 miles into the run. Runners will come down off the top of that hill into the cove here down those steps across the little harbour here and they will cross and go up those steps and back up onto the coast path up on the hill up there. So whilst Mullion Cove is a very small little cove it is possible and it is used by crew to meet runners as they come down off the hill and into the harbour here. Just quick refuel, quick drink, quick bite to eat and then off again. Obviously if you're self-supported straight through and out again. Next up we have Gunwolo. This is Gunwolo. We're about 21 miles into the Archimetrician 100 at this point and this is another point at which the coast path has been diverted. This was done probably a few years ago now about four years ago perhaps but you can see where the old path went along here and it's now blocked off by a fence because this section of the path is really too close to the edge for comfort. Just there you can see it gets very very close to the edge and there's about a 50-foot drop on the other side of that cliff. So they've diverted the coast path just up to here and over in the distance there you can see Port Levin which is at 25-ish miles and that is the first official checkpoint and aid station. So this is Gunwolo. Or Gunwolo, I'm never quite sure how to pronounce it. So if we just carry on along this path here we'll show you where the diversion goes because there is a little tiny bit of climbing in this. You do have to go up some steps to a higher path. When we were on the lower path it was straight and flat all the way along to the beach at Lou Bar but now you do have to go up a bit and you can see the sign here that says a coast path diversion so it should be fairly straightforward to know where you're going and then when we get up to the top of this climb here there is another acorn and another arrow pointing you in the right direction so you turn left at the top here and carry on this much wider road down to towards the beach at Lou Bar and Lou Bar is the next stop in our series. So having travelled from Covrack through Lizard Point and on past Kinance Cove and Mullian Cove and along the top of the cliffs at Gunwolo you now come to Lou Bar this is the beach at Lou Bar so runners will drop down off the cliff on a nice wide path nice easy path it's easy running. The beach can be a little heavy it can feel a little bit heavy and a bit of a drag to get across the beach and you might find yourself walking. It's a bit shingley as well it's not it's not just sand it's shingley beach so you get across the beach you head for that white building over there and then it's road all the way pretty much Tarmac Road all the way into Port Levin and that is our next stop next in the series Port Levin and this is the seaside town of Port Levin you will arrive here maybe just as it's getting dark maybe it will just have got dark but this will be the first aid station that you'll come to. At 25 or so miles into the archivatrician you will arrive here you'll come past that tower there off the coast path onto the road run into Port Levin pass that tower then you'll come down this road once you get here you will be met by valleys archangels who will walk you up to the football club which is the aid station in Port Levin it's a right turn from this exact point 400 meter walk up to the football club and then you'll come back down to this coast path sign here and you will take the lower path along the harbour and then back onto the coast path and again if you're unsure you'll see the coast path sign there so you're not going you're not going on the higher road up there you're going on this road here and you constantly need to just keep looking out for things like this so that obviously telling you you're on the right path and you need to keep going up here and there'll be little things like that all across the coast path all around the entire hundred miles where you just keep your eyes out and you'll see the path once runners have finished at the checkpoint at Port Levin back on the coast path they'll go past Pra sands or Pre sands and then through Peroneuthno as well and finally they'll come inland Marision now the coast path again is changed here you do come inland a little bit earlier than you used to because again coast path has fallen into the sea and is no longer able to be used so you come in on this path here and you head past St Michael's Mount unfortunately when you come on this road if you're one of the runners in the Ark of Attrition 100 you will probably not see St Michael's Mount because it will be pitch black so you'll pass along this path take a note here of the acorn sign on the bin and then carry on up the hill again until you get to the road there's another acorn sign on a post just here and then you cross the road and sometimes crews will meet runners here because the next section is about 7 miles 8 miles into Penzance all on tarmac or path so you will sometimes want to change shoes here into road shoes some people do some people don't and then you're on your way into Penzance welcome to Penzance so runners by now are at around about 37 miles they've come along this sea front here that's the road they're going to go down to get to the aid station and when they come back out they will head to Mausel and out of Penzance along the coast path all the way up the hills there and eventually out there's another two miles of tarmac from the aid station so they've come along all the way from Marision on tarmac five miles of tarmac and path by the railway line and then you head down here and you cross the road there will be archangels at this crossing and they will direct you down this road it's not too far down here to the rugby club which is the aid station the second major aid station on the archer of attrition you must come here so even if you don't want to enter the aid stations even if you're being totally crude you must come to all the aid stations at least put your foot on the threshold so that means walking up to these two red pillars here and and putting your foot in and telling the the aid station manager that you are there they can tick you off if you are going in you go in through those doors there and then when you finished you'll come back out and head back up the same path that you just came down the same road you just came down back up to the sea front there where you will continue your journey on again out to Mausel small village just next to Penzance you're still on the road then you'll start climbing a hill up the road along the road and then eventually you'll hit the coast path again five miles on from Penzance this is Lamorna Cove cruise can meet runners here it's a very small little village nestled in a valley and very tight roads to get here runners will be coming through here in the middle of the night we're looking at 10 11 midnight to get here coming down this path in the night it does feel like you're quite close to the edge sometimes so it's about 45 miles in something like that comes to a little bridge with the coast path sign on it and the next section is very is a very interesting bit that often confuses people so I'll just show you what I mean it's a little walk along the path here but it's it's worth seeing in the dark this is scary as it's not scary but it in the dark it feels like it and you don't know where the heck you're going big cliff on your right hand side but look so look how how near we are to a fair drop down to the sea this is in the dark you climb up here again right near the edge of a nice big drop down there and you look at this and you go where the heck am I supposed to go where's the path but you kind of make your way and it is here not that way but this way you have to be a bit sure of your footing and you make your way through here onto the rocks and then you suddenly see oh yes look a path of sorts I can't stress enough you're in the dark and there's another nice drop right beside you and and you head off along there so this is the coast path coming along from Port Kernow Beach so you've come down off one side of the valley across the beach and then back on to the coast path onto this side of the valley running along here and you get to this point here and you get to this coast path side here which directs you up these steps so away we go pitch black head torch on 50 miles in to the archivatrician 100 so you're halfway through so it's actually a good place to get to because you know that you've reached a milestone in the race Minak Theatre is an iconic place to get to and so when you're climbing these steps even though you are scared stiff of that drop there and you can hear the waves crashing on the rocks below you should have a sense of relief in you that you are getting the back broken of this run so at least and this is where it gets pretty steep hands on the floor as you climb up this bit again don't want to fall really here but it's not too bad you just got to be a little bit careful as you go up again if you're nervous like I am always on heights three points of contact make sure you put one hand down around as you climb up and then you get here and it's a bit safer you've got a railing to hold on to fencing the sea now feels a little bit further behind you and so the last thing to do is to meet your crew now in the car park of the theatre and you'll see the lights of the cars and you'll hear some chatter hopefully there's only a couple of cars there now but this will be on the 28th 29th of January so at 54 miles into the archivatrician you will follow this path and this path will lead you to aid station number three at Land's End so here we are at the Land's End hotel now the aid station is at the back of the hotel your crew can get round there if they want to park in the car park but that is the aid station your crew can't go in there obviously but they can meet you in the car park at the Land's End hotel once you've finished in the aid station there you'll come back out of the back of the hotel around here and down these steps and you will head off towards Senon and Senon Cove follow that tarmac path there the one in the middle one that's going straight ahead towards that white building in the distance there so we're going to jump now over to that white building because it's tricky there are a lot of paths that lead out of Land's End and it can be a little bit tricky so you get to that coast path sign that says Senon one mile and it turns to a normal kind of dirt track you can see the path there there's the path that you've come on from Land's End in the distance there is a tarmac track it's a well a well-used tourist path and then you get to the White House and you see this sign for Senon one mile and you follow that path there all the way to Senon there's a tricky bit you need to make sure you're on the right path when you get towards Senon but hopefully out of Land's End that should give you a good idea where to go in the distance you can see Land's End Hotel this is where you need to come down you need to keep an eye on your navigation here because there is a left path that you need to take if you take this if you take the top path you'll end up going around the back of Senon and you'll have to come down on that road there it's a Senon and you'll extend your journey a little bit there's a bit of a pain the best way to do it the correct way to do it is to follow the path to the left to get to this building now in the dark obviously you won't be able to see it very clearly shine your head torches up to see if you can see it on the headland here one mile from Land's End this building and then you take this path going down so I just make sure your runner knows where they're going and that's where you send your journey a little away but this is the path you need to come down so you're going to get here run this will get here what up two o'clock three o'clock four o'clock a bit that's a little bit tricky but there will usually be a marshal here to tell you where to go so if your runner gets to here this is the second car park in Senon Cove so you've come down from the promontory up there and you've come all the way through the village and you come to this second car park and you might be a bit confused as to where to go next and this is where you go there will be probably a marshal here to tell you but you don't you don't follow the path down there you go up here and it's not actually marked there's no mark so basically that's the coast path there you follow that path here we are at the rugged and beautiful windswept Cape Cornwall runners will be getting here three four five o'clock in the morning may even be getting light for some people come down from that White House on the path and you'll drop down by the wall and come up these steps you can meet your crew if you go up that path there or you can carry on up here and go up the road there's a coast path sign there so up this path and then onto the road and just follow this tarmac road up here and you'll come to the car park on the right hand side where you can meet your crew now remember you're getting into the rugged section the tin mine section so you might want to change your shoes get yourself nice and warm get a bit of food in you before you head off into the night again towards pending watch the official coast path goes up this path here but you can carry on up the road if you want to until you get to this sign here which says pending watch lighthouse three and a half miles that's your last stop before the long 13 mile rugged section to St. Ives so along that path there at this point you are 62 or so miles into the archivatrician 100 so here we are in mining country you can see behind that coast path sign there the chimneys this is Givore tin mine or Givore tin mine don't ask me about Cornish pronunciations it's actually not far away from the town there you can see the houses in the distance although it feels very remote when you're running through here in the dead of night actually you're not really more than half a mile away from those houses there and the road so if you do need an escape route you can do that I can also see from here just the tip of the pending watch lighthouse we are about a mile away from pending watch lighthouse from here the running is still relatively good we haven't quite got to the tough gnarly section of the course yet but it will happen very shortly so you can see all these chimneys here this means do not leave the coast path there are a few different paths you can take but certainly don't try and wander off onto the grass too much there are open tin mines open shafts there may be shafts that nobody knows about that you end up at the bottom of so please do be careful stick to the paths there's me just pointing out that I can see pending watch lighthouse in the distance when you come through here you will hopefully still be feeling good and you will meet your crew perhaps that pending watch for the final crew stop before you head out into the really wild section of the archer partition 100 so next stop is pending watch lighthouse here we are at pending watch look at the waves on the rocks down there there's pending watch lighthouse itself with the big black fog horns that blast out when visibility is low now the official coast path does actually join the road about a quarter of a mile up and then you run into the car park on the road however if you want to keep running on softer ground there is a path just beside the road and then you can come in through this gap here again you can just see the lighthouse there crew can park in this car park here and wait for runners so last stop before you head along the coast path down here past the lighthouse you'll get to this sign here believe it or not that does say coast path and then Zenor six miles so you head down that path there and on into the distance you now have 13 miles of some of the most rugged coastal path you will find in the country until you get to St. Ives here we are on the coast path we are four miles away from pending watch lighthouse and in the distance there two miles away is Zenor so you can split this section between pending and St. Ives into two and Zenor is kind of in the middle that promontory there is gunards head and that drop down there is best avoided stick to the path navigation is really relatively easy here you do just follow the path and keep the sea on your left you go down into the valleys you come back up out of the valleys you go off to the headland you come back in from the headland keeping the sea on your left is is basically the rule here and also you might feel very remote here you might feel that you're miles from anywhere but actually you are not really ever that far away from an escape route we will in a second travel down the coast path and we'll come to a little signpost and the signpost will point left to gunards head straight on to the coast path and right a quarter of a mile away just a little bit more is a village called Treen if you are injured if you need to drop from the race if you need to get off the coast path there is an escape route half an hour's walk you will be in a village on a road and you can get help so you are never that far away from civilization even in this remotest of sections if you get here during the daybreak you will have stunning views otherwise keep going with your head torch on to Zenor here we are at Zenor head so it's seven miles back along the coast path depending much lighthouse and you can just see gunards head the promontory just there two miles away in the distance where we've come from and you've come along the coast path to Zenor here now again if you're injured if you need to drop from the race if you can't go on there is that path there and you will get half a mile to Zenor village half a mile down there half an hour's walk and you will be at Zenor village where you can drop from the race otherwise you carry on on the coast path to Zenor headland now you must not cut off the headlands I am going to take the shortcut here so you can see the coast path goes off there around the headland it's not far some people have been known to use shortcuts to cut off things like headlands which is what I'm gonna do here just to get to the other side of Zenor head to show you the view on the other side but unless you go wrong and you can't be avoided please do stick to the official route you're not going to save much time by going on this path here the official coast path just comes where my finger is there around the headland and it does join on to this path but this is the view when you get to the other side of Zenor head again there is the coast path just coming down off the headland there but the view is absolutely stunning on the other side of Zenor six miles from here to get you to St. Ives this is without doubt one of the most welcome sights on the Ark of Attrition 100 and probably even the 50 mile race this is Port Meir Beach in St. Ives you have come down off the cliffs down off the most difficult section of the race you've completed Pending two St. Ives and now you just have Tarmac path and road it's still about a mile from this point here to the checkpoint the final checkpoint of the race but at least when you get here you know you've done it you know you've done that really tough section if you're one of the faster runners the faster runners will get here just as dawn is breaking it will have been dark for the whole time over that section but it will be just coming up to sunrise at this point slower runners it could be 10 11 12 o'clock midday by the time you get here but that is a wonderful sight when you see it doesn't matter what the weather is it could be blowing a gale and you get to Port Meir Beach and you breathe a massive sigh of relief just a mile to go to the Guild Hall so when you're directed by the archangels you'll come up this road and you will come to the Guild Hall which is the final checkpoint on the Ark of Attrition 100 and the Guild Hall is this building here you will go in through those double doors there or triple doors this is the Guild Hall you'll go in there and you will be able to rest there you need to be there by 2 p.m. if you're not here by 2 p.m. cutoff is 2 p.m. you will not make it so you have to be here and then when you leave you go back down that road and you will turn to the right the archangels will put you back on the right route but that is it that is the Guild Hall that is your final checkpoint on the Ark of Attrition 100 crew you are not allowed to be here so as you can see there's no parking anywhere certainly not for 400 or so competitors of a 100 mile race you can come and cheer you can come to St Ives and pay for parking in the car parks and cheer your runner on but you won't be able to park and come into the checkpoint these dunes with their long sandy beach have been used by people for more than 5,000 years welcome to Gwythian and the start of the so called dunes of doom that's the St Ives Bay Holiday Park there runners will come through this car park and head to the corner here where you'll find this stone the whole of the dunes of doom and then not dunes of doom really you know once you've done what you've already done on the Ark of Attrition this sand will feel perfectly okay so let's follow these stones and see if we can get through the first section here so we can see the next one in the distance or I can at least it should be like when you come through here you'll find all of them have the acorn sign on most of them will say Upton Towers there's another one acorn sign is clearly there you know you're on the right path occasionally you might not be able to see the next one just up ahead but just a few more meters and you will spot it in the distance okay this is an interesting one here we come to a crossroads so if we turn right we can see there is a stone to the right but if we turn left there's also a stone to the left I want to stay near the sea I do not want to go inland so the idea is to keep nearer the sea when you get to the stone you will see again you are clearly on the correct path so if it's a choice of left or right don't go inland steer nearer to the sea and the going is not hard I mean that sand okay it's sand but given what you've already done it's relatively straightforward the sand is fairly well hard packed on a lot of this so you're not going to be sinking into sand dunes it's not as bad as you might imagine it to be so we'll leave it there that's what you need to do you just need to keep following those stones on the dunes of doom and you'll get through no problem to God Reavey on the other side so by now you've had a few hours of flat ish running since you left St. Ives and you traveled through the town of Hale and then you went through the dunes of doom and then you've run all the way along through the dunes of doom to this point here which is God Reavey or God Reavey and this is the point at which you will start to climb back up onto the cliffs this is the north cliffs heading towards Port Town you have now 12 miles or so to go there is this crew stop here your crew can meet you here at God Reavey they will park in the car park right next to this path here and you can stop there this will be your second last crew stop you can also meet your crew in Port Treet Port Treet is about four five miles four or five miles from the finish line we are about 12 miles from the finish line here at God Reavey when you reach here if you are a faster runner well certainly if you're one of the elites who's going to finish in under 24 hours this will still be light here you should be able to get through here no problem without your head torch if you are a sub 30 hour runner again it will be light but you will be sensing that dusk is approaching the final few miles you will start to see the Sun going down to get in under 30 hours you will need to hit Port Town before 6 p.m. the finish line at Port Town before 6 p.m. if you are nearly trying to get in under cutoff so you're probably going to be around 32 hours when you get here it will be dark already so it's going to be 7 8 9 o'clock at night if it's 9 o'clock at night you want to get a shift on and get to the finish line but when you're here you know that you really haven't got too far to go just that last final push up onto the north cliffs past Hell's Mouth into Port Treet out of Port Treet and into Port Town and the finish at the Eco Park. Hale is back six and a half miles on that path Godrevy is two and a half miles back we are up on the north cliffs on the southwest coast path and this is Hell's Mouth this is a very well-known very popular tourist attraction on the southwest coast path there are about three miles to go before you get to your final crew stop at Port Treet and from Port Treet it is about five miles to go before you get to Port Town and then the Eco Park and the finish of the race if you've got this far you are pretty much guaranteed to finish as long as you can get in within the cutoff the running along the top of the north cliffs is easy it is flat all the way pretty much to Port Treet there are no barriers by the way apart from that little bit on Hell's Mouth the cliff fall down here 50 feet 100 feet down to the floor do not stray off the path and go to near the edge but it's stunningly beautiful as well so you'll have good views good running as you finish off your archivist in 100 or your archivist in 50 mile race along these smooth and easy paths there are some surprises at the end so I'll leave those for you but there are one or two ups and downs let's say just before the end of the race but other than that it is nice easy running if you have time enjoy it relax take it all in and be satisfied with your work over the course of the last 30 36 hours there is the coast path sign pointing to Port Town we are in Port Treet there's the coast path sign pointing back up to Godrevy the official coast path comes down the road so this road that we're just going to have a look at now so that road there is the official coast path but it's one of those ones again where you would be forgiven for going the wrong way and I've done this before there are a couple of routes off the hill see this hill here there are a couple of routes off that hill to come down and one of them brings you down and then you can kind of come across the beach and one of them brings you down and you come down onto the road at this stage of the race you're so tired nobody cares anymore unless you're at the sharp end of the race and it is the difference between winning and losing the race then you know you could be forgiven for going the wrong way to get down into Patrice anyway once you're down you can meet your crew in the car park here I think it's the Atlantic Cafe that we're at here and then you head down that road that I'm pointing and round the back and then up that road there and up again further and it's quite a long way up there before you get directed back onto the coast path there might be a marshal there to direct you back onto the coast path but just keep going up that road and you eventually see a sign on your left to go back onto the coast path and from there even though that sign said three and a quarter miles to Porth Tawan it is longer than that this is the Mount Pleasant Eco Park this is just outside Porth Tawan on the top of a hill beautiful location and this is where you will arrive for registration on Thursday evening or registration on Friday morning this is also where you will have your kit checked and where you will catch the bus to the start of the 100 at Covrack or the start of the 50 at Minak theatre this is private parking here for staff and the like but the main parking is over in the field over to the right that building there is where most of the action happens kit check race briefing that kind of thing will happen in there there's a cafe here hopefully the cafe will be open for you at some point whilst you are at the Eco Park at the beginning or the end of the weekend and then we walk here to what will be a very busy room certainly at the end of the race this is the finish line of the archipetrician that arch there there will be a little bit more razzmatazz than just that but that arch there is the finish line you'll run across that field having come up the hill run out of Porth Tawan along the road up the hill across the field and you will finish right there this will all be very busy on Saturday evening as runners finish their 150 mile races and around here this is where you will jump on the bus there will be plenty of buses to take you to the start line don't panic about getting on them or missing them you can't drive down there Kovrak is very small not enough car parking space for everyone to descend on their in their cars so you must get the bus the Eco Park is also where we will have the trophy presentations that will be at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning presented by Vassos Alexander so make sure you're there for that and that is the end of this arch prep series of videos enjoy your race and we'll see you out on the course
