Hmmmm.....

Sounds interesting although Thetford is a bit of a haul. Could you give me some more info? Are there any costs involved other than petrol and parking?

Thanks!

I can't make the first one but will probably do the next two (four hour option)

Will post up nearer the time.

OUCH!!!!!!!

was hard work - my hamstrings were shot after 1/2 hour so ended up plodding the rest of the time. i managed 5 laps in the 4 hours, but something to try and improve on in the second race.

good course, brilliantly marked and organised, great atmosphere

Cannot make the January one but provisionally fancy the February one.
