Might have a look at the agencies too, but they always take a cut, eh?
I paid well before the 28 and money has been taken from my account!! Also I had an email confirming payment had been succesful.
I didn't receive an email saying I was successful in ballot, I only found out when I went into the site and tapped in details.
Has this happened to anyone else.
I had a mail saying Subject title unsuccessful - the body of the mail said I was in and i needed to pay them. (I hadn't paid so I did). Still a bit confused though as to what happened. When my husband logs on it says his details are not recognised so he can't find out if he is in or not.
I think maybe their system is not coping too well.
So I have emailled yet again... what is wrong with their system!!!
7 miles NW of Middleton in Tessdale County Durham...highest YHA in UK
2 and3 bedded rooms...ideal
Hope there are still spaces for someone!

Im starting to think there was a problem with their original online entry form. It would only allow one person from each computer to enter. If you look back through this thread there are many people who have got in, but the other person whos details were entered have somehow been lost. It has happened to me too. when i look to see if my sister has gotten in, it says it cant find her details.
"I have the same thing with the other person's details not being recognised. They have no record of my husband so they are entering him for the ballot that starts tomorrow (places available because people don't pay in time)"
How did you enter for the second ballot?
still injured but am getting excited anyway
Need to by £34 entry fee, by 1/4/05. Still waiting to here about 2nd ballot
Did it in 2002 and really enjoyed - will have to get off my fat arse now!!!
I'm in
woopee!
I think, like cotty, i have some serious work to do!!!
i managed 2 miles today on my injured feet - think i have some work to do too!
I have a place in the great north, just started running recently, but training going well, i am hoping for a sub 2hour time in september. Does anybody know what the course is like, how hilly etc, cant find any info on it at all. although i live in leeds and is impossible to avoid hills here so not too worried, but would like to know.
Is GNR generally considered a fast or slow route??
any help plz
Seb
However, it is not fast unless you are an elite athlete as there are so many people you end up weaving all over the place.
Enjoy it and good luck.
but then i've never done another race so i've nothing to compare it to. but its hillier than where i used to train
agree with EF that there's too many peeps for it to be fast altho in 2003 i did it as fast as it was possible for me to do going by my training times
sorry know thats know help
