Start of the winter start times

We decided last week that our Sunday runs would move to 4 pm repeat 4 pm from next Sunday (14th March).

It's true that the equinox is not for another week after that. But the days are drawing in noticeably (the overcast rainy conditions haven't helped), and the last walkers on last Sunday's event could have done with some night vision equipment to help them home.

I predict that some will forget and turn up at 5 - a down, down for them!

A memorable run this last Sunday courtesy of Shockjock, Miss Demeanour and Chinwag. The carpark we started from - and quite a lot of the track - had been a metre under water a few days before. We definitely did not suffer from a deficit of mud....

There was no deficit of gourmet tucker at the on, on either. The meal featured homemade pretzels and kraut along with "Chardonnay and French herb" and "Spicy Italian" sausages. Tasty!

The hares share a pretzel:


Chinwag - awarded a down, down for deliberately sending walkers down a false trail!


The tour of Shockjock's new coldroom. The nagging question - is it big enough for his beer?
