mines here
Not long now!
Anyone got any advice about where to stay over on the Saturday night? Where is popular with runners? I know I've left it till late, but had a lot of really bad stuff on my plate over last few months.
I've done the Ben once before but never stayed over so am very unsure about what to plump for. Also, is there some organised post race piss up/presentation or does everyone just head into town? I've got my priorities sorted as you can tell!!!
Cheers,
MG
Yep...and let's hope all that training we'd all planned to do wasn't really that necessary and we'll all get PBs on what little we have done...
Hope you find somewhere to stay MG, Fort William does get a tad full this weekend...maybe tourist info office could help...? Reckon you may have to pay for higher spec hotel though cos all b&b's'll be full...? But staying in town's well worth the evening and ability to rehydrate properlywithout having to drive...
Presentation is (usually, suspect will be again this year) in big hall near sports hall / behind big supermarket top-side of town. Cracking good affair! Then Nevis bar is a good choice of venue for erm...post-race discussions (they also do good food - the Wharfedale gang go there before the presentation to restock)
There's no better way to put bad stuff behind you than a Ben weekend! See ya there!
...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...
PB? on the Ben? NeverYep
You could try Alan Kimber's bunkhouse. It's decent quality as bunkhouses go and has prebooked rooms and seperate accomodation for people who turn up on spec. It's about 10mins walk from the town centre.

We camped at Glen Nevis last year, it's a quiet little campsite with all the facilites you could need.

Stop worrying Mudlugger, you'll be fine. I ran it last year and you're quicker than me! I just hope you get fantastic weather and get to see the views from the top as we did last year.
