Cool will see you at beachy head later in the year then Karen
I spoke to the Glenshee hotel today and they confirmed that there are some "special rates" for the runners however they quoted me a price which was higher than the standard advertised rate (although to be fair the website was still showing 2008 prices) If Dario reads this can you please confirm what the prices are as they do seem a tad pricey at £37.50 per person per night based on two people sharing a room ?
PSC wont have time for pubs as he needs to race between our planned checkpoints erect the gazeebo set out our chairs brew up some tea and lay out dry kit and shoes for us to change into
When he fires up the barbie can I have a sausage with cheese please.
As Sweeper you do know that the runners support crew have to feed me dont you.
Loon Dod - get your order in
you won't be disappointed - our support crew is one-off!
I fell into step with another runner for a section of the Winter Tanners a couple of weeks ago, discussing events London2Brighton came up and although he hadn't run it, three of his club-mates had and he could tell me about the fantastic support crew with gazebo, deck-chairs, stove etc for one and all.
I'll be amazed if they don't pitch said gazebo on the top of some incline or other at some stage of Cateran
Yea sweeping the first 50 K then I get to run free.
Heading up to Cape Wrath for the challenges on the sunday so will take it easy in the race.
You then get the lovely Drama Queen to entertain you and he will.
Yea portable barbie is the way to go done that a few times if not for the runners its great for the crew to have a hot meal.
I just ran back to work its cold but only a flurry of snow but its not far away.
Need to be here half an hour or so then off to circuit training expect to be running home in snow
Bo-bo we had lots of the white stuff yesterday but all gone from my roads now, jsut some up on the hills.
MF7 i did check out the prices and that is the room rate. The website either shows old dates or winter rates or both!! The new bunkhouses due to open up there anyway and they're really good if you want a cheaper option. I'd actually pay £37.50 just to see the old guy playing the keyboard and singing again in the bar area the night after we did the reccy run. I haven't laughed so much in all my life, a classic pub singer who could lip read every word i said
.
thats us booked into the spital of glenshee hotel for the Friday and Saturday nights who's buying the first drink then on saturday eve
I'm Scottish MF7, do you really think i'd offer to buy a drink
. Oh ok then, first ones on me.
been quite on here this week is everyone snowed in or is the Scitish internet down
I'm Getting some good practice in this weekend with a 32 mile cross country night time run on Saturday. Should be fun in this weather
SueW im sure one of the "locals" will pop in soon to answer your question fully. But I can confirm that the full trail run is on the 16th May
Karen Ive just read back a few posts and noticed your comments about the pub singer . When we used to come up to the area for our holidays there was an amazing pub singer/pianist called "Geordie" who used to play in the Kirkmichael Hotel (I think it was called the Strathleen hotel then) Anyway it was hilarious as the poor chap was a bit of a drinker and as the evening went on he got worse and worse. Couldnt be the same guy surely could it ?
Hope not Sue, i've sent my entry for the 23 miler. Got the link on born 2 run website.
That might just be the same pub singer guy. He was so funny. He started a song without words on the keyboard then would randomly throw in a line or 2.
Thanks MF7, i'll have a play about.
Snow on hills up here but none on the ground, blue skies all round. Further north got it bad today and i didn't make a run unfortunately. Got some Pentland hill running planned tomorrow and some more on Sunday, hopefully in snow
.
It's amazing what you can learn in here.
