Its too much outlay as PinkLiverBird says. I'm going to try the Paras10 the week before. Good luck to everyone who has entered the ballot
Princess Purple Bubbles Jan 2014 10:34am, 9 Jan 2014 18,584 posts	0 Princess Purple Bubbles Sorry DeeGee. I loved my Gnr with GM and GG but to be honest think I need a break as financially I can do 3 other races and travel..if it wasn't so darn expensive.

Good luck to those running it and best of luck to those hoping for a ballot place. I'll be watching out for you on the day
