Ducks, Ponds, Waddling, and all that...
Looks like a few of the JSJers are finding their way back to the website after recent changes. In case you missed details of the Almería Half Marathon trip here's a recap:
Flights: were around £ 30 round trip - may be a little higher now.
Easyjet Gatwick - Almeria on Saturday 26th Jan
Return on Tuesday 29th Jan
Hotel: Tryp Indalo Almería
Cost is around 58 Euros for a single, double or Twin
Four star, about a klick from the start
Race: online registration not yet open
Entry: around 10 Euros
This includes race pack, T-shirt, three course supper at the stadium the night before
Road circuit, stadium finish (500 metres on the track)
Around 600 entrants (maybe a few more), usually some top African runners.
Unofficial Monday activity:
Almahilla Mountain Plunge - a five mile(ish) offroad plummet down through the wild-west style hills to a small town for a beer
Evening activities:
Molly Malones's Irish pub
Many Tapas bars, including the excellent Fifth Bull
Walking about between bars and restaurants
This trip is completely disorganised - in terms of what you're obligated to do.
All, some or none of the above. There are non-running partners going too. If you fancy the trip drop a line on here. If there's enough of us we'll ask the hotel to lay on some mini-buses at the airport.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
