gcwenn Sep 2008 9:59pm, 23 Sep 2008 19 posts	gcwenn i am toying with the idea of runnig this one. Never done a marathon before. Just a quick query........is it very expensive to stay around there in the hotels and B and B's? I have myself, a wife and 3 step-daughters to put up for the weekend, maybe longer. A little concerned about the pocket, thats all

Last year we stayed at the Newby Bridge Hotel for a ridiculously cheap rate. I think they may have charged us £54 for the room rather than £54 per person (I'd booked a posh room), but the person who checked us out insisted that the bill was correct See you there!
