    I might have to save the Boards tee-shirt to put on after as I won't be standing around in it if I've just run in it!! I'm a sweater :eek::eek:

    We will find each other, we always do... with Boards!!;);)

    I wish it was that price but you pay for quality and I'll look fabulous from this evening :P. Easy mesh is correct though, well spotted.

    Sorry, back to racing chat.

    Urban Residence looks like a great option for accommodation (now to find a shack for Friday night!).

    I got it for two nights for 216 using hotelscombined.com

    Great location, kitchen area etc.

    I really hope I'm not the only one, but my training is going terribly! No excuse, just really sick of running in rain and gale force winds. It's soul destroying!

    He deleted it when he remember Leeds are mighty. :cool:

    Have yee all booked flights?
    We've an apartment booked for 4 of us through air b'n'b - another option if any of you haven't get anything booked. Air b'n'b stuff pops up all the time, so even if something isn't there now there might be something good next week.

    He deleted cause he knew this wasn't the place for football discussion!! Stick to the thread, charter rules!! Flying out at 1.40pm Saturday and back at 8.40pm Monday evening. Return flights for the missus and myself for €110. Staying at the citizenM hotel, just off the Coolsingel.

    You so and so. Stayed there two years ago. Very very good. Jealous.

    You get a tablet that operates everything, from lights to the curtains to the extensive movie collection. Perfect for the marathon runner!

    The marathon route goes right by the door so a good place if you have anyone to give you drinks etc.

    The metro is right outside the door. It was free on marathon day. Just make sure to get on it early as it's manic!

    Haha. I'll get you the place of the local Italian are you are set. It was brand new when I visited. The reviews say it all. It's a place that's too kool for skool.

    I choose somewhere closer to Paddy Murphys because it took me over an hour to get back that night. Should have taken us 15 minutes. Nightmare! Ha
