There's 4 in our group, 3 girls, 1 guy and we only need two rooms so if anyone wants the other room please email me. £90 for Friday and Saturday.

Hi Rob

I used an OMM (Original Mountain Marathon) pack back - its only 10 litres
(think it's called 'The last drop' and I put a 2 litre water bladder in it
that I've used in rucksacks when hiking before. The bag was small but enough
for the bladder, a jacket and the other bits and bobs like gel sachets,

CTQ Events?

2009-10-23T10:07:43Z

Does anyone know anything about the CTQ events for 2009/2010? Nothing
on the pages of the website yet.

Hi Gareth

I did the 7 marathon events last year and I've jotted down a few thoughts /
observations / tips that I found:

- Weather was good last year for the series so really the main issue was
(sometimes very) muddy paths on some of the routes - trail shoes were a
benefit. But definitely carry a woolly hat, gloves and a running jacket,

Hi Gareth
A good pair off trail shoes is probably the best kit advice. There is
usually the Endurance life tents there selling hot / cold drinks,
energy bars etc.. As well as some kit. I like to get here early as you
get to chat to other runners and in your case you would probably see
the H/M runners start. Not sure where exactly the start is in

Hi Brett

I have managed to get into the Youth Hostel in Beer. I think it is
about 4 miles from Charmouth and relatively cheap. You can book
without being a YHA member. I think there is another YH the other side
of Charmouth, not sure of name.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion Jill.
I've also booked the Hensleigh Hotel, as it did look good on the web
and they seemed friendly when I spoke to them.
See you there for the run.

Received the wrong wheel after the Devon C2C!

2009-10-05T10:21:50Z

Hi guys,

I got the wrong wheel back after the Devon C2C and have someone
else's. Although the disc brake is the same the rims and tyres are
different: the tyre should be Specialized Fast Trak LK Control but are
Specialized Fast Trak Sports. The rims should be DT-Swiss 445D, 26"
but are Specialized RHD 26 inch. The wheel I now have has a sensor for

Hi both

I think the start is at Charmouth. I'm staying at the Hensleigh Hotel?
No idea what it is like but it looked OK on the web. I think Charmouth
is pretty small so hopefully its walking distance...well hobbling
distance on the way back?!

Lyme regis is the largest town close to Charmouth. Just along the
coast you also have Westbay and Bridport. I have not stayed in any of
these so I cant recommend anywhere. I have stayed at The Lugger Inn
which is in Chickerell. It`s a 30 min drive along the coast from
Charmouth.
Hope this helps.
