Ferret I haven't completely decided what I am going to do as I haven't done a test run yet and won't now till Thursday, but I think I may walk and hope to see people along the way

I'll try to sort out some logistics before the big day for the meet-up with the 5 milers. But I think where we had the brief briefing at TBC1 would be a splendid place.

Going Commando, I think I said I'd be bringing a hedge so you'll be ok - it's my Muttley hedge....

--- slight issue alert ---

I've just written and deleted a rant.

Spoken to the pub and they have fucked up our booking. Long story short, the manager is phoning me tomorrow to confirm whether they can put it right.

All round to Columba's son's house then?

Don't worry McG I'm sure there'll be *somewhere* in London that can accommodate 30 sweaty runners :-)

How exactly have they fucked it up? No food? Wrong food? Nowhere to sit (now that would be a big problem)?

You are all welcome to come back to mine but I'm about 4 miles away from the finish and there isn't a straightforward transport route (I'm not entirely sure how I'm getting back myself). I guess we could always run ......

Nowhere to sit. The woman who took the booking initially put us in the small room (seats 20). I told her that wouldn't be big enough, gave her revised numbers and she said she had moved us to the big room (seats 32). Eventually, she emailed me back to confirm this.

Now she has gone on leave... and she never changed the booking. The room has been booked out to someone else.

I don't know if we had the booking first or second as I don't know if she even checked there was space in the bigger room.
