Hi all.
I mentoned to Chris and Rog (and anyone else who'll listen) that I'm heading for Cape Town next April to take on the Two Oceans marathon. It's a 35 mile race (or in my case a run/ walk) and claims, rightly in my view, to be 'the most beautiful marathon in the world'.
If we can get a few more people interested we may be able to negotiate a decent group rate with one of the airlines (both Virgin and BA currently service Cape Town). Accomodation, food and drink are VERY reasonable.
Here's a couple of links to whet your appetite:

Sweder's diary entry from November last year
Some of my entries have photos - click on the highlighted links to view them.
Interested?

I'll publish proposed dates, estimated costs etc here as we go along.
Here's a couple more photos for you from my trip last November . . .
