Is this pre-entry only?
We've pre-entered anyway, but wasn'ts ure if it was pre-entry only.
I have walked a bit and run a bit round here very remote wonderful countryside.Originally Posted by IainR
a good hotel is the slieve donard (ignore spelling) pricey but worth it
Going to try again....
Cheers all sorted now. We are renting some cottages in the area, about 20 of us heading over from North Wales so should be a good weekend, petty about having to go for a run though.
i'm in,flights booked and time off work booked just need to find a place to stay now
Fleeter we were looking at staying at Tollymore Forest Park, not from Newcastle, I bet a fair few runners will stay there.
The YHA has been block booked as far as I know, not sure who buy but someone metioned that DPFR did it last year so you could see if they have a spare bed going?
We ended up renting 3 holiday cottages but are totally full now.
I'd look at booking soon as places were going fast when we were looking around.
booked in at a b+b on the tollymore road about 1 mile outside of newcastle,which having looked at it is about 5 miles from the start of the race.this is going to be an interesting weekend for me as i dont have a car and am using public transport in a country i've never been to before !! ,make sure you say hello Iain

The start is about 3 miles from where you are staying, but on the plus side the road at the end of the Tollymore Rd is the main rd out of Newcastle to where the race starts so you should be able to get someone to lift you!!
I would offer a lift but am away for the race!
Return flight up for grabs in Sales and Wants.
