Fleet Half Marathon - coach trip

As has become customary over the last few years I am organising a coach to ferry people to and from the race. As we have learned from bitter experience, this is much better (and cheaper) than travelling by public transport which can be unreliable on Sundays - plus it's loads more fun and has been known to be followed by drinks and pizza!

There will be two pick-ups - one from Brockwell Lido and one from Tooting Bec Lido - to arrive in plenty of time for registration and pre-race warm-up. Return will be around 3 hours after gun-time to allow plenty of time for completion of the race.

If you haven't done Fleet before, it's a great event and a lovely course (largely flat but slightly undulating in places!) and very popular with around 5000 participants. Click on this link to enter http://fleethalfmarathon.com/

If you would like a place on the coach please respond to this post so I can book the right sized coach.

Thanks!

Caroline

OK so there are 12 people in total needing a lift I think: Phoebe, Rachel O, Charles, Ian, Lucy, Paul W, Aine, Heather, Steve, Peter, Neil, me (and possibly Sarah R if she got a spot? That would make 13). Neil and I can go in our van but we only have 2 seats in the van. I think Peter, Charles and Ian might be driving? Would that cover everybody?

I am happy to make further enquiries about a minibus - I only checked one company which gave me a quote of £250 which I thought excessive (!) and then Charles mentioned that we might have room in cars...

Yes I will be driving Night Rider down to Fleet, so I have space for three windies and lots of Kit.

Can I be the Hof? Could my mate get a lift as well if there's space.

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Robin of course I haven't forgotten you! You were on my piece of paper but somehow I didn't type your name!
