After today's run, I spent a happy couple of hours looking at course maps and determining where the big climbs will be. The answer is: everywhere. 450 miles of some very hilly terrain. Hopefully last weekend's marathon over the South Downs and some daily mileage now around the Chilterns will be adequate preparation. I am planning a very slow and careful start. 
We've had a couple of weeks of excellent running weather, with skies bluer than I can ever remember in March in England. Hopefully my travel plans will not get derailed by petrol shortages or industrial action. Luckily I'm a vegetarian and thus not impacted by Pastygate. Grandbaby #3 has moved from a March baby to an April one, and is still refusing to put in an appearance.
