Ta for hint, might be too far/awkward to Putney then. T'other way looks awkward too. GU Canal worth exploring?
Good luck with official Mara plan, what's your target again?
I use a spare tiny call/text only Nokia as it has oodles of battery life and weighs little. Useful for kit check passing, but as you say most races that need phone do send runners into signal free places.

I think i was out a bit later than you. That next bridge, Putney, is quite a lot further...and there are a lot more boathouse slipways with random boats coming in and out to negotiate.
Week one of marathon training is go. Tougher than expected 11 on the North Norfolk coast this morning, it was much chillier than the sunshine suggested it would be.
re. mobilephones and races, they were obligatory kit for the trail race i did in Dorset the other week, and it was excess weight, and i doubt it had signal for the majority of the race.
