good for him letting us park, cos it would be a bloodly long run/walk in otherwise, due to the NEW newlands parking restrictions.

Slighty 'Off topic', but can you do entry on the day? Just tried the online entry and it's closed - my fault for being soooo last minute!

I'll wait for response on here before say more
Was due to go up to Dalbeattie to do a MTB Orienteering event, but I thought I'd save petrol and get trollied at a friends BBQ in Braithwaite afterwards. Need a few hills in prep for some hilly races coming up.
I have pm'd ya!
I understand the same farmer charged a bit less less for parking at the Newlands Duathlon yesterday, I think it was £3 per car (I'm not sure I went on my bike) - but it shows that he isn't just making a profit, he seems to be charging based on the amount of work/damage to his field he expects, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

for us it's simple's no carpark no race... the valley cannot support the amount of cars we get.... so you should really be thanking the farmer.
just an aside the total entry is down from last year .. so you might have to wait a tad less to get into the carpark!!
Are there any water stops on this route? Which of you carries water for this and who doesn't? I'm in the rucksack/bumbag dilemma!
Is anyone camping at Braithwaite?
