Two Oceans - April 2007 - Sweder - 04-06-2006
Hi all.
I mentoned to Chris and Rog (and anyone else who'll listen) that I'm heading for Cape Town next April to take on the Two Oceans marathon. It's a 35 mile race (or in my case a run/ walk) and claims, rightly in my view, to be 'the most beautiful marathon in the world'.
If we can get a few more people interested we may be able to negotiate a decent group rate with one of the airlines (both Virgin and BA currently service Cape Town). Accomodation, food and drink are VERY reasonable.
Here's a couple of links to whet your appetite:

I'll publish proposed dates, estimated costs etc here as we go along.
Here's a couple more photos for you from my trip last November . . .

I'm on the list, ridiculous as it might seem at the moment.

Good on you Andy.
Hey Ash,do you realise you only get a medal for running these 35 miles if you come in in under 7 hours? I'm sure you realise how devastated I would be not to get a medal. On the brighter side, I see you can buy one if you enter. You can actually buy the Sainbury's medal which comes just above the bronze. Ha ha a plan.
In all seriousness, I think a blue medal is probably do-able. A bronze possibly do-able with a strong following wind the whole way.
