Sitting in heathrow. Going to windsor castle was a dumb idea. The flight was 40 minutes late getting in which obviously wouldnt help, but by the time i changed into running clothes and washed up from the flight and got through security, it was just over 4 hours before my fight left. Factor in an hour to run there, an hour to run back, and that is all the the time i had. Assuming it was my 6.5 miles and not rh,s 12.

Adding to that it costs 24 quid to get in, and i really dont have any interest to see the castle.

Speaking of prices, 5 quid to put my backpack in a locker for up to 2 hours, 10 if more (and even more if for a period longer than a half day). 33 quid if i took mongers suggestion for a run in hyde park.

You get two free stops on buses from heathrow, so i did that and ran wherever 2 stops on the bus got me amongst the minority communities stuck living near heathrow.

Pity it didn't work out for you, though you'd always have been pushed for time.

Hope you enjoyed your run in the West London suburban sprawl, pretty nondescript isn't it?   :)

I feel sorry for the folks on the plane that is going to have to smell Dorsey after his run.  :(

I have clean clothes, and i brought deodorant for this, but yeah. I have some of those white streak sweat stains, and ive tried to clean up, but there arent paper towels in the bathroom (all the blow dry things).

Pretty much the result I expected. Very difficult to have fun with a gap between flights, the time is always too short for anything interesting and often too long to do nothing.

I had a eight hour stopover in Helsinki three years ago. I went to the city center and four hours or so is enough to see everything of interest in Helsinki.  :P

I bet there are tons of Slavic hookers near the airport.

Why Slavic in particular?

Because of freedom of movement. What are you, a UKIP voter?

I just want a traditional English whore when I have a layover in England.  :mad:

Which reminds me of my best transit airport experience  :cool:

With 3 hours to kill at LAX I went to a generic looking bar within the airport.........but for some utterly incomprehensible reason the people at the bar all knew each other and welcomed me into their group........the barman was very cool, and the embittered old alcoholic had some good points, but the highlight was definitely the two working girls  :cool:

That's pretty much SOP at any bar at a hotel airport.  Just like anywhere else in America, you go where the jobs are.
