the route actually finishes a stones throw from there. plan to recce the first 20km in next week or two then go back to cover the final 40km a couple of weeks before the race (the only points where there's train stations near the start and finish).

once you've finished the surrey hills challenge, you can cross the road and do my route! good luck - that looks like hard work

I've just looked at the route again in more detail. Zoikes

Why not just do the whole thing yourself one weekend? £95 is ridiculous for a run that anyone (with a marathon under their belt) could do with minimal prep.
[Edit] I'll come & run it with you, if you want to run it for free.
