Elephantman Jan 2012 10:46pm, 4 Jan 2012 First-time poster!!	0 Elephantman I have booked into The Old Trafford Lodge, about 1.5 miles walk from the start. The price via www.booking.com made it the same as the local Travelodges and is a bit nearer. www.oldtraffordlodgehotel.co.uk.
sprouty76 Jan 2012 10:50pm, 4 Jan 2012 1,439 posts	0 sprouty76 Only issue with that one is that that section of Talbot Road is on the route, so not sure how early you'll be able to get away from the hotel afterwards with the road closures - although it's near the start so perhaps it'll be re-opened fairly quickly.
sprouty76 Jan 2012 10:55pm, 4 Jan 2012 1,440 posts	0 sprouty76 Apart from that it looks ideal - dead easy to get into town from there the day before, if that's something you're planning to do.
Elephantman Jan 2012 11:01pm, 4 Jan 2012 2 posts	0 Elephantman I'm coming up on the train on Saturday so am planning to have a leisurely walk (about 4 miles) to keep my legs working back to Piccadilly to get my train home.

Manc Girl Jan 2012 11:28am, 5 Jan 2012 1,802 posts	0 Manc Girl Thanks Jen, training non existent at the mo - getting worried about the distance, ( and my age) and maybe negative comments from some people !!!!!
