'Fetchpoint Lite' that we had last year was in the lmile or so before the dreaded power station. Seemed like a good spot. 18 miles or so.

There are spectators in the dreaded power station, but its too dreadful. And after the dreaded power station you come out onto the seafront and there is not much room, unless you own a brightly coloured beach hut and fancy sitting there, drinking booze and eating pate whilst I run past in a state of disrepair.

Why is it a dreaded power station? Does it blow up if it thinks you are running too slow?

It looms over you in an portaging way and makes you do horrible things like ring your husband and shout at him for no reason at all.

It is hot and bleak. There is an air of death about the place.

I find it fairly ominous.

Bit like Canary Wharf, then. Or coming out of the Blackfriars underpass with (what feels like) the whole entire world screaming at you. Just shhhhhhh, please!

Theres no screaming, just an eery quiet.

And even though the temperature was in the mid twenties and the sun was blazing, there was a strange chill in the air.

The power station was very grim and industrial, I hope they brighten(no pun intended!) it up this year!
