Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm not doing this, but my son is, and he is fretting about not having had a race pack in the post yet. It's still a few weeks away though, isn't it? When do the race packs get sent out - anyone know?

Hello all, hope everybody's training is going well! Have missed this thread this year for some reason... my number arrived on Saturday, just when I got in from my last long run, eeeek!

I'm hoping for some local advice (Nelly, are you here?!)- any good pubs for post-marathon drinks? I'm thinking somewhere reasonably near the finish (especially as I'm staying in the vicinity at the ibis in Salford quays) but far enough away that it's not totally hoaching

And is there any plan for fetchie meet-ups? (now off to read the rest of the thread and may learn the answer to that...)

MN - the past few years I have ended up at the Toll Gate https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Toll+Gate/@53.4619949,-2.2782808,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x487badfc9942994d:0xe3110fdf9a3b4b8!8m2!3d53.4619917!4d-2.2760921 (I think it was 2016 I met Gus in there). I'm not sure I'd class it as a "good pub", but it's a nice 5/10-min stagger from the finish line and convenient for the Metrolink back home for me (or was before I moved home)!

No meet for me I’m afraid, I’ve got a plane to catch and hope to fit in a shower first :-)

Oh I remember that pub! I tried to get there in 2016 and walked a mile in the wrong direction and just about collapsed in a heap and by the time I got there everybody was gone haha
