Does anyone know if you can park overnight on the dunes at Alnmouth ? - we've got a van and it would be very convenient...
Im in a panic! Ive lost my number and all the info! God knows where its gone. Its so frustrating. Like pixies have come into the house and removed it as it certainly isnt where I left it with all my other race numbers.
Anyway, doesnt matter. Can you send me a duplicate??
Apologies for the inconvenience. I am very organised with race numbers etc and this has never happened to me before!
Grrrrrrr!!!!

Am booked into the Saddle Inn for the Saturday night. Anyone else doing the same.
Take it photo opportunities will be minimal!!!
Well, that wouldn't take much, would it :-)
I'm sure it's always been good weather when I've done this event, and I am confident it will be on Sunday, although typing with fingers crossed is not easy.

There are complimentary bathing facilities about 200m east of the finish. Cold water only but plenty of it! If you don't fancy a paddle, there are public toilets just near the Golf Club where you can wash yourself down after the race.
I hope everyone has a great run. I'm running too this year so I'll be going through it with you. The forecast is good - sunny with only a mild head wind and the tide is out. Please remember to smile at the marshals as you pass them. They are mostly runners who give up their day to help out. Finally, please be discreet if you go for a wee in the dunes at Beadnell.

I have been unable to train for past four weeks (medical reason) and only went back to my club last night. I ran 5 miles on road with no problem though im not as fit as i should be for this. I was going to pull out but really dont want to so am planning to run/jog/walk if neccessary to get through it. Am I likely to be the only one?
We keep the finish open till Wendy and Helen get back, about 3 hours. Hopeyou enjoy the day.
Are trail shoes more advisable than road shoes ?
Enjoy
Have fun.
Anne
Thanks for that I will opt for trail shoes.
Really looking forward to this one. Will be regarding it as a high speed ramble.
Do most people carry water?

Cant decide between my trail shoes or my road ones.
Think I will take some water.
Will you cheer me in like you did at the Humber Bridge ?
