I think you should complain that if you're paying that much money they should get their act together re their website! I don't think it will be very hilly. I'm signed up to be working on the finish funnel so that could be interesting for me.

Discovery Dave Sep 2013 9:16am, 23 Sep 2013 13,570 posts	0 Discovery Dave It's all a question of scale on the elevation chart. I don't think it's exactly flat. One thing I've noticed: all the advice on the site says "take three gels an hour" etc... and gels will only be available on the stations from mile 18 onwards. Thanks a LOT.
