Thanks nurse gladys.
RFJ - I stayed in one of the "school houses" this year and am doing the same again next year. Wasn't the meal the night before fantastic? What a brilliant way to get "in gear" for the marathon. I mailed Phillippa and asked if we could stay with the same family if they were still opening their home (it was the local vicar!).

Hi Liz,
I am a first time marathoner (and old timer too!). Would you mind sending me details of the scool houses contact. I have a booking at Holiday Inn Mayfair at present, but the cost is frightening at over £700!
many thanks,
John
I stay next to the DLR so its stress free.Anything over £150 is a rip off but Mayfair is going to be over the odds anyway.
Hi
Can anyone tell me what time we need to get to the start - and what time the start is? Can't find this on the VLM website or in the info. sent so far. I am checking train times as hoping to travel from home as not too far away and know this is what people who live near me have done before.
thanks
Don`t go bonkers and spend a fortune just to run London. Have a sensible budget and book early.
I like the idea of the school set up - could somebody please send me some further details?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
RFJ/Liz - could you PM me with the details? I tried to do it but you don't have the messaging enabled...
Thanks!
