I have done a few LDWA things taking more than 6 hours and just shove cereal bars etc in my camelbak and get on with it now. This lap thing is new though and because it is flat there are no obvious places to walk so a stragy of when and how much needs to be thought out!!!

Anna Finn Aug 2009 6:58pm, 25 Aug 2009 1,221 posts	Quote Pin Anna Finn Just realised today that I can't enter Kent on the day next week as I was intending to do, as they're full. So, I'm now thinking about Wolverhampton. Which I can't enter on the day either but can book online this week. I guess I'd have to stay overnight unless anyone is driving up from London on the day? Has anyone done this and got any comments on it? Has anyone got any idea if I'll be up for a marathon the week after Ridgeway anyway?

Anna Finn Aug 2009 7:19pm, 25 Aug 2009 1,222 posts	Quote Pin Anna Finn Thanks FD. I can get a place in the race easily enough, but I'll have to suss out trains and B&Bs cost etc. But if anyone knows of anyone with a spare place for Kent on the other hand, that would be very good...
