Yes the hair has gone . I came across a photo from Edinburgh marathon when it was at its longest. Scary !
Sadly cutting it off hasn't made me any quicker.

C'mon guys, it's always vest & shorts weather. It was nice hereabouts today - though it did rain once and yes, it was mid-morning.... Same tomorrow?

If your are in before the road closures then the SOL is free but it might be hard ot get out till later. Very safe secure parking can be had at St. Marys car park here but again you may have ot wait to get out.

sunderland.gov.uk

but again you need ot get there early. It's £1-00 a day on a sunday i do believe. Come in from durham on the A690 . You can see the SOL and walk to the SOL over the bridge from there.

You could of course park near the bottom of hylton road or chester road in a street and you should get a quick escape from there. Or park near a metro (like hylton road and metro it in)

good luck everyone.
