Graeme has said (on the calendar page): "Depending on the number of entries, I may have to limit places. These will be confirmed separately from the entry process and by email. I suggest that you only make travel and accommodation plans once your place has been confirmed. Submitting an entry along with payment does not confirm your place."
I look forward to his confirmation e-mail which will come in due course (no hurry - the relevant train advance tickets do not go on sale till end February).
Looking forward to the method he employs to "ensure that event starters will receive value for money on the event". Are we passing any distilleries?
This was my get out clause in case there were hundreds of entries in the first few days.
im pleased to say that we are currently (as of 23-00 last night) sitting at 82 entries, so that means that everybody who has entered by 11pm last night is in.
I think there are only a handful of entries (those submitted in the last few days) that haven't yet been acknowledged.
A big van has been hired. i'll have to have a think about the best start / finish location vis a vis bag drop. Not sure network rail will take too kindly to us using their station concourse, perhaps theres a cycle friendly hostelry nearby that will accommodate us.
18 spaces left, then the door closes.
