Vicki: Graceless Whippet Feb 2008 2:47pm, 20 Feb 2008 64 posts	Quote Pin Vicki: Graceless Whippet Heya folks - thought I'd join you guys as I'm in again this year. RE: traveling in - there's parking at pretty much every one of the Tyne & Wear metro stations, and the metro service is excellent on GNR day. From Sedgefield there's no local trains running early enough to get you to the start on time, and I cant find a local bus service that'll get you there early enough either - there's a big list of local bus services here: nexus.org.uk Nirvana do a shuttle service on gnr day, but I dunno how expensive it is or how you book it - sorry I cant be more helpful

They said they will take me to the start and take my wife to the end as she is not running pick up is at 6.45am , so that's a weight of my mind and someone else will be driving . Thanks again

If I get a place it'll only be my second ever 1/2, going to do Bristol in September. Mind you coming form the south west I haven't worked out how the bliddy hell I am going to get there!!!
