The instructions I got via e-mail say to collect your pack and running number from the information tent on the race day, 25th May from 8am onwards; the tent is situated outside the secure area.
I checked the map and that secure area looks bloody long!!! Anyone know where do I go??
ehmm.. the M question - sorry I will have to go back and check - my gmail is stuffed full of subscription/internet order confirmation/junk/stuff so it's rapidly increasing faster than I can remember mails!!!! I'll go and reply now.
Found Ryanair flights for €60 and change return to East Midlands airport so will go with that - but thanks for the advice on the accomodation!!
