Yes, I'm sure it is a fair bit more. I can check tomorrow.
I'm not intending to enter next year.

I don't think it's a massive increase. I remember having £50 as my threshold for entering last year after underperforming at Belfast, and it was more than that so I didn't.
If I do a June marathon close to home next year I'll do Solway Coast.

I seem to remember it was £50ish plus something for the parking.

I'm out anyway, I expect my legs will still be gubbed from Dartmoor Discovery.

DD will give you DOMS that you'll never forget, mostly in the quads from the downhills 😭
Keith - I thought you'd remember having done the race this year.

I think I must have missed you’re doing DD, Velo! Have you done it before? I did a marathon 8 days after DD and it nearly finished me off. I even spent some time sitting on a wall questioning my life choices.  I was going okay at around half way….and then I wasn’t. So, on that basis, no Windermere for me either.

I've run a marathon 8 days after DD a few times, twice was Yeovil and I could still feel DD in my legs for the last few miles.
I also ran DD one year on the Saturday then flew to Ireland to run Cork on the Monday. I got round Cork but not recommended, my legs were wrecked.
A friend of mine wanted us to do a triple, DD on the Saturday, Tenby on the Sunday and Cork on the Monday. Fortunately there was no way for us to get to Cork after Tenby, phew.
