Jerry: Am I right in thinking that you're signed up for this event?
How are you organising the logistics? i.e. getting to the start and getting home again?
I need to find an event in December or January and the two I had in mind for December are now off the radar due to my wife organising a night out for herself on the 5th December (which means Doyen of the Downs and Tour de Trigs are both out)
This race, the GB Ultra Country to Capital 45, looks like it may well fit the bill.
Also, what's this Trailwalker thing?
An experiment of one
I'll email Steve now and see if he can shed any light on this
I have emailed Steve (the organiser) with that very question
Here is the response
The race starts pretty much at Wendover train station (by design) and there is a service back to Wendover the following I sent out with the race info earlier in the year
Useful links:-
Ø The site address for Wendover station is http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/station/wendover/
Ø The site address for the timetable pdf is http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/uploads/publications/825.pdf and the pages you need are 80 and 81 if you are intending to use the train back to Wendover
Hopefully it is still current.
Starting in the station car park was a bit drafty so I plan to try and get into the pub by the station as our HQ which should also give you somewhere to park.
I think I will make alternative arrangements and just travel back home from London
So the idea is to drive to Wendover, run 45 miles, and then get a train back to Wendover to collect the car and drive home. That seems like the wrong way round for me.
The race ends at Little Venice, which is pretty much Camden area right? Well, my company has an office in Islington which is just up the road where I can park for free.
It would make more sense to drive to Islington the day before, train to Wendover and sleep in a B&B, then run to London. Short cab ride back to the office in Islington where I could get a shower and then drive home.
Agreed...
I have just found this and booked a room, it is about 1/4 mile walk to the Station where the race starts
The King & Queen Public House (food served Tues - Sun) 17 South Street, Wendover, Aylesbury, Bucks HP22 6EF Tel: 01296 623272
It is a reasonable £30 p/p/n
Breakfast can be served any time we want, so I will take the train up on the Friday, quaff a few ales and go home from London assuming there is a bag drop
Hi Jerry
It appears i am running this (as per your Blog) which is a surprise as i have not yet entered, but more worryingly you think i am from Essex!!!! I am from Surrey dear boy (in pretend posh accent).
I am however going to enter, so your Blog is nearly correct
Whoops, I shall get it changed
Yippee
