    Sounds good !

    Sunday will be a cold, bright day with lighter northerly breezes. Many places will be dry but a few coastal showers are likely in parts of the north and east.
    Afternoon highs of 5 to 8 degrees C and cold and frosty overnight

    Apologies for the question but I'm not from the area.
    Is the train station car park near the registration / start line?

    No worries. Was just curious as IV been out of action for a while. When I first signed up I was hoping to break 40 mins. But things got in way. If I got in around 45 I be happy. Not a pb race I don't think unfortunately but Il keep an eye on me watch.

    Just back - great event - lovely relatively flat course. First time running with pacers and the 1:40 lads did a great job. Thanks to the marshalls and those that manned the water stations especially the kids.
