I'll be coming over from Gosport, so will get off the ferry at Portsmouth Harbour. Trying to work out the best way to get to the start - I'm thinking probably just walk it? I'm going to be taking the run easy, so won't be worried about the extra distance.

I’m walking from the station, it’s not that far, is it?

We've decided to do the park and ride. I couldn't work out how far it was from the station/ferry to the start so thought it was easier to do the P&R.

WP, I think the hovercraft goes into Southsea rather than Portsmouth Harbour, so it's a different location.

Walking or run/walking from Pompey harbour station/Gosport ferry is a nice loosener or warm up.

As well as all of the portals on site there are a couple of public loos on the way depending on the route you take. Follow the crowds.

I’ll be holding court/getting the pi$$ taken out of me at “The Old Customs House” in Gunwharf Quays afterwards if anyone fancies a freshener.

Anyone (apart from me) doing the Great South Run this weekend? I’ve entered the 5k on Saturday as well as the main run on Sunday. It’s my 3rd time doing this one.
UPDATE : 2024 my 5th time!
