Looking forward to this one, despite the 9 hour drive. Looking at accommodation options at the moment - anyone able to make a recommendation? Got to be reasonably priced but I'm told camping is not an option.

Booked a room at LLwyn Hall - looks charming despite their lack of vowels, <5 mins drive to race start, and reasonably enough priced.

My race has its own thread! :-)

Llwyn Hall is a fantastic place to stay, been to a few weddings there and often run past it. Close proximity to the start line too...

J tell my your budget and I will make some suggestions.

Will be going out to recce the course on my new :-) mountain bike next week. Start and finish will still be same place, still almost all tarmac and 37 miles but may make a few subtle adsjustments to make the route more pleasant on the eye (if not the legs). Will upload it as a Garmin route as soon as it is done. May stay the same though...

Yes Hipps:

Llanelli Central East

Llandafen Road, Llanelli SA14 9BD

Is the one next to the track from last year so that will bring back good memories :-) and is about 5 minutes drive from start.

That'll do me T:)

My budget - a football card of Gordon Banks, stoke city strip & and a post office savings account from 1978 - couple of quid.

Plodding Hippo, jono, the Premier Inn was dearer than Llwyn Hall! We must've got the last room. Anyone decided where the pre-race drinkies will be? :-)
