Sadly for all ISIHAC lovers, Mornington Crescent will be closed on the race weekend.

That's a surprise !

Andy, glad to see you've entered London.

Yes, but have cancelled entries.

Sorry to hear that - was looking forward to getting your feedback on my courses.

Haven't been before and wondering what sort of times a late start would be. We are wondering whether we can go to the campsite first which lets you arrive at 12.00. Otherwise anyone know where you can park a campervan safely and catch a tube in from the outskirts?

[Jayne]

Last starts are 12:30 so probably not enough time. What direction are you coming in from, and will try suggest somewhere to park.

[batty]

The west.

[Jayne]

would suggest Richmond or Chiswick, then you can hop on the district line straight to Temple. Someone may know better than me though - will ask about the club.

There are tfl car parks at Debden tube station and Loughton tube station: at the North and South ends of Loughton on the Central line. The cost is £1.50 on a Saturday (N.B. Sainsbury's car park next to Loughton tube costs more). You may want to call and check it's OK to park a campervan (I've never had one so know nothing about turning spaces needed, size of parking space needed etc...). Otherwise, I live in Loughton, a 10 min walk to Loughton station and you are welcome to park on our drive - though we are on a small cul-de-sac on top of a hill.

Closing date for online entries via Fabian4 extended from 9 to 16 September.

Please note this is for the Southern Champs. Entries for the City Race will still close *this Sunday* (9th.) The Men's Elite and Men's Super Vets courses are just about full, although we will be able to take entries for these ones until the closing date unless there's a big surge.

An update on parking at Debden and Loughton tube stations (both on the Central Line and not far from Debden House Campsite): there are height barriers at the entrance - limit is 6 foot 3 inches.

A quick reminder that pre-entries for the Southern Championships close tonight on Fabian4.
