chippy 5687,
Im also going for stage 3 on the 4th Dec!
was wondering about the expenses too. i dont mind paying though. Im staying at the holiday inn in southampton. I was going to book the travelodge eastliegh but there is no breakfast included and i think after stage 2,(where i didnt have breakfast and my stomach wouldnt stop rumbling!) i should eat before !
where are you staying?
