DeeGee 20 Apr 8:45am, 20 Apr 2021 20563 posts	0 DeeGee I'm looking to the US possibly late on Foxy, but as I'm not planning anything in advance I'll be looking for something relatively last minute. You've done a lot of the Mainly Marathons stuff, haven't you? Are those mainly "seven laps of a balancing lake/caravan park" type stuff? Or do you reckon there's any chance of finding a different single or two lapper anywhere close to an airport (that isn't the weekend I mark the Maravan route)?
Foxy 17 Jun 12:20pm, 17 Jun 2021 34234 posts	0 Foxy I've opened a space in my calendar to allow me to do Big Bear but no rushing to book anything. Mainly events are generally speaking out & backs on loops of parks, lakes & indeed have run round a few US caravan parks. really not sure what's on in the US as each state has different rules. Philadelphia is great & a single loop with inexpensive flights & a great & very underatted city that said it's usually around Thanksgiving which could be maravan weekend ? Philly has a good subway from the airport.
DeeGee 17 Jun 12:31pm, 17 Jun 2021 21013 posts	0 DeeGee Interesting, thanks. Maravan is the weekend before Thanksgiving usually (two weekends after Fireworks weekend for historic practical reasons) so I might be tempted to have a look. Not doing anything though until either rules change for double-jabs or the USA moves out of amber for a while. I won't be so fortunate with travel insurance this time round...
