Good luck Joddybear, I wanted to do that race but couldnt get the time off work guaranteed. Bit gutted really, but I'll be doing Switzerland on the 7th June instead.

I'm starting to believe that i might actually have a hope of finishing now, albeit very slowly.
Is anybody else trudging up to wimbleball for this one or will i be the only forum fool to represent our brotherhood?
If it helps gary i will be sending you a photo and some money in order to procure one of your wondrous fashion creations in order to identify myself, i just need to get the digital technology going.
This weekend is going to be some serious time on the bike and then next week is the beginning of the end! After that, taper and get pumped up! I'm scared of the cycling route like I'm ashamed to admit, but hopefully repeats of Box Hill this saturday will get me over that.
The run looked pretty tame compared to the things I've forced upon my legs, so that'll probably be a good time, and the swim looks beautiful with plenty of things to sight off of.
I'm looking forward to meetign some fellow forum dwellers! Will be on the look out for the t-shirts!
Going to go down early on the Saturday morning, is there anywhere to camp down there? I havent sorted out that bit yet!!
Sam, in answer to your questions;
Camping - theres a few campsites around there but i haven't got a list handy. I'll try to dig it out and post it here over the weekend. Alternatively check out the accommodation link at the bottom of the "Official" website (http://www.half.ironmanuk.com/default.asp?PageID=16655) where they have one site listed.
As to the start, yep its 6am all round for a mass start on the lake shore.
Suddenly i wonder whether this is just one small step too far...
other websites in the area can be found by checking out these websites
