    Help with travel and timing questions please

    Everything very straightforward. No delays anywhere. Despite the dire warnings about London Bridge it flowed fine. They seem to have made a oneway qpedestrian system at London Bridge so on the westbound journey we were routed out of the station and up the Approach to catch the train. That did...

    Those who have been to Grenwich...

    Security moves along nicely and the lads and lassies are very cheery and pleasant. Water queues were long, the water pressure was low meaning that only one of the three outlets on the pumps was usable for bottle filling. There were only three water stations around the arena. Delighted...

    X Country Greenwich Park - folding chairs allowed

    I was wondering this as well. We are going straight from an early flight to the venue and threats of long walks and long queues with my overnight bag on my back make me very keen to bring my aluminium tripod folding stool but I would hate to have it confiscated.

    ok, cant cope with winter - thermal underwear recomends please

    Penneys ( Primark) have super thermals at the moment , the leggings just seem to come in black but the tops come in colours and stripes , some have a half zip front. They cost €12 here and the sizing seems generous. Undersilks are super if you can find them.
