I believe 'Turner Towers' is hosting this coming Sundays morning's run.
In order to appreciate the best that Horton & Rudyard have to offer, including uninterrupted views of Gregs knee surgery, please arrive in time for 9.30am start.
Please try & share cars where possible.
I will try and put together a 90min mudless, beastless run on tracks where possible.

I can't promise mudless or beastless, but it will be 90mins (ish).

The woman did us proud and the run was mostly without rain too. She’ll have to do something about that huge teapot in the kitchen though, otherwise it’s sprained wrists all round.
Mind, It would fit proudly in a Woman’s institute :lol:

Just sorry I couldn't organise the weather & views. Took the dogs out an hour later in sunshine, blue skies and superb views.

Did anybody lose any keys on Sunday? We passed a chap on the bridlepath - the last climb of the run, he found a set of keys on the path.
