    Hi Ames, hope thingsare ok with you :T
    I think the plan so far is

    Some out of towners are getting in from 2 till 5 on Saturday so some of us will be knocking about the train station:confused:

    On Sunday, about 8 am outside Travel lodge on Vicar lane, walking up with runners, to the start at
    Meet the runners and walkers at the finish line Family area, which from what i can make out is Millenium Square (for those that went to last years L|eeds meet) thats where the pub was:cool:

    After that meet again outside Travel lodge on Vicar lane about 12, and go up to Roundhay Park (lakeside cafe) about 1 ish

    I think:o

    I'm ok thanks.

    It all sounds good, but a bit too much walking for me! If I see you walking past on the way to the start line I'll say hello.

    Do you know how you'll be getting to Roundhay park? I'll have to have a look at bus times, I wont be able to walk it.

    When you say hanging about the train station do you mean the pub? If so I'll happily join you there!

    Good idea, if people can meet someone from the train, it does make it less stressfull
    It does for me , I don't like train stations:o
