Finally got round to posting my entry form over the weekend:thumbup:
Nice one Multi, see you there !
Jez, Multi, Rob,
I've already got my number back - just need to spend the winter months running the course. However well I think I know it, in the fog I always go wrong.
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on.
Just posted my entry so hope to see you all there (and stick near someone who knows the way?
It's always on my winter list. I'll try and stay with you if I can Rob!
Quick question about the start - do you have to take the road straight opposite the start and then nip through the ginnal to the road round the back of the retail park, or do you think it's alright to go around to the left and head straight down the side of the retail park? It would save queuing at that silly narrow bit/gap at the end of the road.
Or is this not really in the spirit of the event?
I can't understand why they don't walk everyone down to the retail park and start the race at the top of that road instead of crossing the main road anyway. It would be much better and far safer.
No-one's really going to bother. I've known LDWA events where people have put in their own diversions of several miles...
But you're right, the spirit is to go with everyone else; remember that basically it's a group walk that allows runners to join in.
I'm not sure that saving a few seconds at the start is all that important anyway, unless you're extremely fast and looking to be among the leaders, and if that's the case, you ought to be at the bottleneck before the crowds arrive. If you think it's going to be significant, you can always sprint from the start. Personally, I intend to jog along and chat to people, and if I have to stand still for a few moments at a narrow point I won't worry.

Oh, and I agree it would make sense to have the start across the A65.
Though there'd be less time to spread out the field, and the bottleneck would be worse....
