andysmiles said: is there any good local hotels for cheap or am i best staying in a premier inn/ travel lodge? im in the same situation as yourself. think im going to stay in the premier inn the night before and then no accomodation for the night after. my flight home is at 8am, bus to airport is at about 4am. no point in paying for a few hours shut eye. Are we thinking of having a night out after the event? | |||

| Since some guys on here are from the area.. I will be getting a flight back to Glasgow at 7.30 ish from either stansted or luton. Which is easiest to get to at the time in the morning. Probably going to have to be there for 6am. Scott | |||

Post Edited: 15.07.2009 @ 17:02 PM by thosebananas also meant to ask, Im flying into luton or stansted, and will be staying somewhere close to the venue. Looked at the premier inn, which looks like my best shout as its close and the cheapest, any suggestions thou are always welcome. Ive been searching online for a bit now and cant seem to find buses/trains into cheshunt or close by from luton/stansted? are their any? if so, which airport is more accessible as the price fo flights is fairly similiar. if not, then how much is a taxi likily to cost... :S Cheers Scott | |||

| fair enough about the chain. Is the farmers a frame as in one single big frame you stand inside, or is it two seperate implements? | |||

glen_danbury said: a single farners walk implement which is solid cylinder type(unlike the world of strength frame type which will be used for the actual farmers walk) and weighs around 70kg but is very awkward when just using one,keg should be around 100kg and a sand bag no drag in the event then? or am i missing something? | |||

Im only going to get to use a log once before the comp, and i wont be able to practice the tyre. Deadlift will probably be my best event. 15+ and ill be happy. hit 12 in training last week. The drag and carry medley could go either way depending on implements etc. Scott Whereabouts do you train? I run a strongman gym on the north-west side of Edinburgh, have tons of kit there. You're welcome to come train anytime you like. There's also a place in Dumbarton, and Nick79 from here has a wee set up in Hamilton. Strathclyde Uni Gym, usually with my glamorous assistant bigken.  I'll hopefully be doing a day out in Dumbarton before this. Work/time restraints hold me back from doing much more. cheers for the offer/info thou, ill keep it in mind for the future. 110kg push press yesterday. +15kg PR in 10days | |||
