There is a great hotel in town nice secure underground parking but it's a little pricy at £97 B&B single, and £104B&B Double or £83 Single B&B if you pre pay & £89 Double B&B pre pay, unfortunatly with the pre pay you cannot get a refund if something comes up and you cant make it

Derry hotels, Londonderry hotels, Northern Ireland spa hotels, Derry hotel accommodation Londonderry Ireland

Just did a check online with that hotel and it looks like you can get a discount if you book online. Plus if you take just a room only (I tried a double) it came to £77 per room as far as I can see, which isn't too bad at all

Another definite here JP

Suppose you could do that, but It's getting breakfast first thing on a Sunday morning which could be the problem A friend of a friend is very good mates with the manager of the hotel so I'm going to see on monday if I can strike a better deal

[NickyJ]

We're still maybes at the moment, but I really really want to come

[Step_7]

I'm a definite for a room on Saturday just in case there was any doubt!

[Sportspack Mark]

I need somewhere to kip on the sat night too JP

dont care where! haha

[bigstevie]

very interested in this but would only be able to go on the sunday as I'll only be back from my hols on the Saturday.

That be ok to do the one day ?

[nylo]

Yep no problem Stevie, the more the merrier. As soon as the start point for the Sunday is confirmed, it'll go up here, so keep an eye out

[Maverick]

Im interested in the Sunday run also!

[Darthbladerni]

I want to go to the whole thing!!!

Can someone explain to me how accomodation will work etc, where we are staying? When should we book places to stay?

[nylo]

JP is checking a couple of things out, and when he gets back to me, we'll have a better idea of whether everyone has to book their room individually. Whatever is suggested is only that: a suggestion, you are more than welcome to sort your own accommodation out, but I can only say that the crack is usually ninety, so staying in the same place can only be a bonus...

Thats what I wanted to check, I wanted to stay with everyone else because it would be better craic.

I will keep an eye on the thread for updates then

[nylo]

Hope to have a better idea in the next few days, don't worry, any info worth posting, it'll be up here ASAP

[Hugo]

I won't able to do the IJ but I might be free for the Friday night!

[PmP]

I'm a maybe at this stage.

As for accomodation I'd be staying were ever the rest are sat night, but breakfast on sunday morning is essential! No travel lodge type places, please, .

Oh yes, Deano had a suggestion yesterday that we could maybe arrange karting (seeing I forgot about it before) or a few drinks in town on the friday evening for those of us that will already be here. Said I'd suggest it and see what you lot think!
