Doing a training weekend in Rutland waters (where Dambuster races are) if any else is keen? Found a hotel also on Rutland Water (5 min drive from race start) that has a 22m pool (included), spa facilities and they have said they can do group discount for us. www.barnsdalehotel.co.uk/

The prices online are cheapest (above and also infotel.com, booking.com, laterooms.com). The availability for some dates are better if we ring direct and the rooms I have booked so far they have done £65/night for a standard double or £80/night for a superior (both include breakfast). Doubles have twin options and superior rooms have a double, 2 sofa singles and a single Z bed can be added equating to 5 persons (equating £16/night each!). They waived the extra person £10 fee for these ones so will be looking to try keep these rates.

Planning to head to this place for the two Dambuster races also and below are the dates we are doing (and have arranged for a few people already) but which nights one stays can be flexible:

Dambuster Duathlon - 1 night: Fri 9th March
Training Weekend - 2 night: Fri 11th & Sat 12th May
Dambuster Triathlon - Fri 15th & Sat 16th June (we are staying Thur 14th also)


If anyone is interested and want to book direct suggest you check out the website prices and if they match above go for it. If not ring hotel and say we have a group discount under my Steven Anyon and if possible talk to Alison. Or if people want to let me know numbers, dates and preferred room approach I am happy to coordinate.

Any questions let me know, Cheers Malcolm
