Guys and Gals, thought I'd share a hot tip for a hotel.
After days of searching and sifting through Tripadvisor and the various Compare Hotel prices websites, I found this one (St Giles Hotel, London. http://www.stgiles.com/default.aspx?pg=packagepage) copy and paste that into your browser.
Basically it is £190 for 2 nights including brecky. It has private rooms, ensuite and TV's Wifi access you name it.
It also has a gym in the basement. The gym just happens to be the YMCA run one, we will be using for our fitness. Its a £6-7 taxi ride from St Pancras station, and to Oz House its a £5 taxi ride.
For the fitness test you just walk downstairs, simples !!
For those who don't fancy the tube, it's walking distance (10 mins) to Oz house for those who want to stroll.
Book directly from their website as it was cheapest I found.

Good Luck to all my potential Oz colleagues.

Well lads and ladies how's the training going? I did a trial run with the bleep test today and wasnt too impressed as I've been flat out at the gym for the last couple of months!

HarryBosch

Irishcop,

What level did you get to ?

Irishcop

Got to level 6.4 now I'm goin to put that down to not having been well the last few days and not haven eaten anythin today. I've to get level,7.1 so I'm hoping that wont be a problem. Did the agility test, hard enough to set up cuz we don't know the measurements across but set it up fairly wide and passed that, it's tougher than it looks. The fella in the video looks like he has time for a wee cuppa tea during his!!!!!

HarryBosch

Your not far off it then. What training are you doing? Besides, adrenaline and sheer stubbornness will see you through the extra sprints. I'm 39 so I have to get level 9.1. Another few months and I'd only need level 8.1. Bummer.

brisbec

The agility test is 4m wide

VikkiShields

How long did it take from getting told you had definitely got in. Till you got a starting date please.

Irishcop

I've a PT at the minute twice a week and then for 3-4 other days I'm runnin my wee legs off on interval training on the runnin machine!

Irishcop

Really???? I think I had mine prob 10m wide!!!!!
