We have a 6.8 mile long route and a short route of 5.1 miles – something for everyone.
Head torch is not needed this week.
This week’s route is mostly well lit but please try and stay in groups as much as possible, looking out especially for guests, newer members and wear something bright and hi viz. Our 2 tail runners this week are tbc( short) and Robin Barwick (long)
Whether you’re training hard, tapering , recovering from your weekend marathon, or just want to run with your friends, there is something for you.
Current forecast for Wednesday is for a dry and warmer 16C.
Map not attached but GPX is.
There is also a walking group that sets off at the same time. So if you’re injured, tired or tapering come along and walk with friends. No excuses !
The cricket club crew host us in the bar afterwards selling the finest beer, AF lager and ale, wine and soft drinks in the vicinity, at special prices, so why not relax and have a drink with friends before you head home.
And guess which combo is back in residence …. yes, its the Trevor and Rocky show, the perfect elixir on a Wednesday evening.
I won’t be there (again !) as I will be cycling in France.
7:30 prompt start from the Nevill – change rooms, showers and bar all open – it’s time to commit !
