Johnny Blaze Nov 2011 11:39pm, 17 Nov 2011 13,023 posts	0 Johnny Blaze I actually don't have a tent. note to self - buy a tent. Any idea where the best place to camp is - ie nearest to the pub?

flanker Nov 2011 12:21am, 18 Nov 2011 13,682 posts	0 flanker yep, me too. I think it's the best road marathon in the UK might be a sub 3:30 attempt
