Location
The Hackathon will be held at the Genome Campus in Hinxton. OpenStreetMap, [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&q=genome+campus+hinxton&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Wellcome+Trust+Genome+Campus,+Hinxton,+Saffron+Walden,+Essex,+Vereinigtes+K%C3%B6nigreich&z=11 Google Maps]
Security
The campus has a security office located to the left of the front gates. All those attendees listed on this page have been registered with the office and should collect their security passes from the security office upon arrival BEFORE trying to get through the gates.
If you are intending to attend the hackathon and your name is NOT on this page, please email Jonathan Warren so that he can register you with security (his email address is below). If you are not registered with security, you will not be able to gain entry to the campus.
NOTE: If you are driving, you will need to tell the security office your car registration number when you collect your pass so that they can allow you to drive through the gates to the visitors car park.

Accomodation and Travel
Some of the participants are staying at theTravelodge, Hills Road in Cambridge. OpenStreetMap, Google Maps
There is a free bus provided by the Genome campus every morning and evening that can take you to there and bring you back. Genome Campus Shuttle timetable
Other hotels available near the campus are:
http://www.redlionhinxton.co.uk/ (the nearest non WT owned accommodation)
http://www.johnbarleycorn.co.uk/ (in the next village along)
http://www.duxfordlodgehotel.co.uk/ (see above)
http://www.wtconference.org/ (owned by WT & sometimes will offer accommodation)
However one problem with all of these are the costs involved; if you can get into the Travelodge it’s normally quite a bit cheaper but do check carefully. Spending £5 more per night to get into one of the other places can be worth it.
