Bazoaxe Apr 2018 5:35pm, 21 Apr 2018 12,937 posts	0 Bazoaxe I reckon I will be there at 08:30 latest. But I am renowned for being early. However I would rather be there. Tomorrow I am on blue start for first time and do have new surroundings to get used to as well.
Bazoaxe Apr 2018 5:37pm, 21 Apr 2018 12,938 posts	0 Bazoaxe Just checked and I took a photo last year at 08;44 and I had been there a while as I had queued for the toilet as soon as I arrived. Baggage lorries close at about 09:15
Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 5:39pm, 21 Apr 2018 746 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Lee - 0830hrs should be fine. They do give you coffee, tea and water in the enclosures but make sure you take a plastic bag or something to sit on when you get there in case the ground is still wet. You don't want to be on your feet for an hour more than you need to before the race.

Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 5:48pm, 21 Apr 2018 747 posts	0 Little Miss Happy You need some P20 Fergus - put it on before you leave home and no need to worry about pouring water over yourself either.
Bazoaxe Apr 2018 5:56pm, 21 Apr 2018 12,939 posts	0 Bazoaxe P20 for me also. And none above the eyes.
