I'm arriving by train to Tring and getting a lift. The start is on Ivinghoe Beacon just outside Ivinghoe along the b489. Looking at the map theres a NT car park just down the road.
Has anyone got Neil's ( race director ) mobile number just in case I get to Tring and there's no lift.
Hellen , we'll have our overnight bags when we get to the finish. My plan is to pack some wet wipes and change where i can.
The weather forecast is looking good for all 3 days. It was looking a bit rough last week.
I might email the organizers to see how many people he has starting at 12. Whilst starting at 12 would mean I don't have to hang around in Watlington waiting to get access to the college I don't want to be running on my own.
Looks good. I would imagine its following the Capital Ring walking route as much as possible. Has anyone seen a route map? Is there a runable tow path all the way from Brentford to Wembley via the Brent?
The start is less than 2 miles from my house which is appealing.
I think you would have to go as far as Coventry to get on the northern approach to Tring. National Rail says the journey takes about 2 1/2 hours and cost £31 if booked in advance. I may end up begging my OH for a lift.
TMR - Neil's email said that the college wouldn't be available until 4pm. I'm sure if you rock up a bit early it will not be a problem.
I still haven't figured out the logistics of how to get to and from the start. I don't fancy getting the train from Swindon to Tring as the only way is to go to Paddington and then across town to Euston and finally out to Tring. I can't imagine I'll be in any state to trudge around with a heavy bag.
