For those seeking a place to stay....

The run will finish in Stony Stratford, home of the Stony Stagger, birthplace of the phrase " & Bull Story" and other claims to fame! ), which tends to mean that you either stay in a "historical", but very nice hotel, or you stay down the road at the Travellodge (walking distance from town centre, but up hill!).

Places to stay in town include:

let there be light

Do you have space in the garden??

[scooperman_uk]

what time is leopard skin legging and bare chest guitar moshing.......?????

any ideas on accomodation? ideally a place near to a boozer would be good....

[Paul]

I'll come up with a list of places by the end of tomorrow in MK....

Need to think about the run start and stop points. The pub we finished at last time was great, but is a bit out of the way for places to stay.

More central would probably be wise, and could provide a nice, more dramatic end to the run too.

[Paul]

Which WILL be very useful!


Maybe we should make him lead?

[scooperman_uk]

[Hickster]

I've been waiting for a good excuse to get some lights

[Paul]

I'd just like some quick views on what time people think the run should end, and if people would like to try and all go to one type of place to eat at the end (like a pub with food, to cater everyone's tastes), or finish somewhere with a choice of venues?
