Matt's finish is Cromer so a huge car park on the cliff tops...phew! 
I'm going to conflab with Bill about the bike support but it looks like bike support isn't allowed on any part of legs 3 and 5. I know that bikes aren't allowed on the off road bits of 1-5 and the bike bits are marked on legs 1,2 and 4.
If this is the case then we are pretty much ok and can spread it out to one or two bike support legs each (from those who have offered) with maybe a couple doubling up depending on how we go time wise.

Fantastic Neil and thank you very much. I have penciled you in for leg 6 bike support..which is Cromer to Mundesley with Mark W running.

Hello....sorry not to have been around much. My new job has taken too much of me 
Looking forward to this though...and I did offer to sort out some cheapy T shirts.... David posted a link I recall plus there are a few places locally. Am off work in just over a week and can sort it then if folk want me too.
Happy to go with the majority decision though. This is a few days after my birthday Dips so I am a year older... still..... a youthful and very fit 48 aint bad!
Is there anything else I should be doing/offering to do/ etc etc for this?
Claire.x |

Re bikes/bodies or anything else that needs transporting around, as well as my little sporty number, I do also own a bloody great big Renault Trafic Van. I would be happy to use it if it would help. Could even rig up some bunk beds in the back if you want.

Yes Claire I have you down as a young 48. Unfortunately I brought home the wrong bit of the spreadsheet So will have to put the prelim declaration in when I return to work.
Thanks for the offer of your big one Colin...will certainly store that info although I like the idea of whisking around Norfolk in your little sporty number...aka Thelma and Louise?

Have just contacted Lynnsport and put my name down for camping in the sport centre grounds (well organised, I am!). Anyone else camping this year? Should we reserve the whole field to accommodate Alan's marquee ?

I will mind Cliff don't worry 
Wend and I have booked a little B&B, of which she has the details, should anyone prefer a roof over their head rather than damp canvas.
Once HW gets back from his travels and confirms his attendance or not, would it be easier if I left you boys to work out the bike/Timekeeper bits?
Biker Boys as follows (or those who have offered if needed for a leg or possibly two) Mark W Matt D Steve (Fishy) Neil Jon H
Wendi is going to do Leg 1 and Jon's Dad leg 2. (road bits) Subject to Bill's confirmation no bike on leg 3 and 5So then it leg 4 road bits. 6 through to 10 and 16 - 17(depending on how we keep to time)

Only reason I have put myself down for biking Leg 1 is because I know the rest of you are running later and won't want to bike beforehand - I know, I've tried it  and one of my sons does Tris. On the other hand if anyone who isn't running (Jon's Dad ????) would like to volunteer I am sure Shaun would feel an awful lot safer without me wobbling along behind him. I have never been the most confident of cyclists and I don't think my bike has been out of the garage for a couple of years but I do promise to practise first if I do have to do it

Matt, talking of Cliffs, watch your step on stage 5 or you might be staring up at one.
Dips, I'll definitely be using my big one this time. My sporty number will be tucked up at home. It's so big I'll be sticking my 2 wheeler in the back for extra support if needed.
Claire, it's too embarrassing to explain on an open forum.
