On the Beach - Chris Rea

Well here we finally are at last at The Seaview Tavern at Slievebawn sheltering from the rain of a very blustery Tuesday afternoon at the northern most tip of Ireland... all the training has been done and so has the all the talking.

Tomorrow the action starts and the bu****it stops. At 9am it will be time for action! Let's hope it stops raining by then. Also by then people's nerves will be calmed and the first ULTRA of the event will see them start to settle into the days ahead.

It's going to be fascinating to see just how the athletes get on both with the run and with living together on the Sleeper Bus. We are now settled into the bar and looking forward to an evening of Irish hospitality. Chris plays piano so I think we are in for some tunes... as long as it's Adele songs we are ok he says...
