Nelly Mar 2013 10:31am, 20 Mar 2013 809 posts	Quote Pin Nelly For what is worth at this stage, the 5-day weather forecast is predicting a LOT different conditions to last year. Currently predicting Cloudy, 1oC, 12mph wind but with gusts upto 30mph

Nelly Mar 2013 7:55pm, 20 Mar 2013 810 posts	Quote Pin Nelly It sounds like car parking may be an issue. I hope people heed the warning and turn up early, as I wouldn't want people to be hanging around for a delayed start because of late arrivals as happened at the Tatton half in November.

I don't think I would have the patience for it!
RunningBob Mar 2013 8:48am, 21 Mar 2013 2,998 posts	Quote Pin RunningBob Nelly - yes, indeed as no parking on fields most likely which could lead to a long queue to park near the club. I'd advise anyone to park closer to Wiilmslow town centre and jog to the start. Even better cycle. Yes, Malcolm does all the work. He gets a massive volume of emails.
