Looking for some advice on which 2010 IM distance race to do in the UK (I've decided on UK rather than Europe to do my first IM as I'll have a wife and three small kids in tow and the logistics of travelling will be easier for a UK race). Anyone got any suggestions on a race with a good athmosphere and which is spectator friendly. Was looking at IMUK but some mixed reports from this years race. Any advice greatly appreciated.

sure it had a few problems but overall the response was positive and i'll be doing it....and i think it will be better next year also
Alternatively there is the new Nottingham IM distance race which is attracting alot of attention but I'd still go for IMUK
As it would be my first and possible my only IM distance race an M-Dot race would be the preferred option.
I should have said that I'd be coming over from Ireland so the UK is a better option than mainland Europe if I am bringing the kids, and it would be significantly cheaper and easier given that I could drive. My loose plan at the minute would be to hire a camper van and turn it into a longer family holiday. It would be nice to have the kiddies there but I take the point about it being a long day and lead up.
That said there is a certain appeal in going to Europe without the kids (and possibly the wife). Another option is to travel to mainland Europe without the kids using one of the travel agents that organise slots, travel and accomadation. Has anyone any experinece of / reccomendations for any of these travel agents?
Again many thanks.
The support on the route especially the bike was pretty awesome and I am looking forward to taking part agin next year!
