Hotel booked is the Euston Premier Inn again (same as last few years).  2 nights (Sat 21st & Sun 22nd).  Cost £136 per person payable on the day of arrival.

I will look to book transport around Feb 2012 time - unless told otherwise I will assume everyone staying at the hotel will need a train ticket.

Unfortunately Mark Kelly has deferred his 2012 place due to injury,

All train users - sorry it is £39 each with booking fees etc

Dont forget the spare bed we have available - do you know anyone that needs a hotel bed for the marathon?

Good News everyone - Bryan Lawton has joined the party

This ensures that we will get everywhere we need to be when we need to be there - including the start line

Only 5 weeks to go - hope the trainings going well

Would anyone running London be willing to carry a small lightweight GPS tracker with them?

The unit is 6x4x2cm and weighs just 60grams

You will need to be wearing a bum bag or equiv

£50 donation to Dr Kershaws if someone does it

Let me know

Good idea

GPS tracker is a new product for my company (designed as a mobile SOS) and would use the route traced around London in various marketing blurb - Let me know if anyone willing
