Intresting to read at the bottom of the results, that the cut off time may be reduced at checkpoint 4 by 15 minutes and the entry on the day increased to £15.00.

Sounds like a good plan to help out the marshalls, but how pee'd off would you be if you missed the cut off having paid £15 quid.....
Agreed, it saves pissing about on the day. Put it up to £20 that'll prevent it.
