Greetings Harriers, dodgy politicians and C list celebrities.
Would you take a back (bench) seat when the jungle beacons ?
Of course not, but don’t be fenced in, when you see Ed with his long lense …..
Prefer talking bollocks than eating them ?
Perhaps you have a London marathon place and are looking for someone to run with ?
But, if you are not destined for the jungle and you missed out on a London marathon place, don’t worry, because …….
In other news, as reported earlier in the week, TW men were officially declared winners of the Kent Grand Prix for 2022 and our women were a very creditable second. So, what better time to dust off Mike King’s Champions route.
With Mike King as this week’s Routemaster 
, fasten your seat belts and here we go ……
, fasten your seat belts and here we go ……“In celebration of us being the champions of Kent, we had better go and get ourselves a trophy! Therefore, I have set my best attempt at finding a trophy around the streets of RTW (yes, it’s a bit wonky). A head torch is recommended for a few dark sections, but you could stick to the main roads to avoid. One section in Calverley Park is also running up a grassy hill so again if too slippery please use the footpath instead”.

Hockey Chris has been promoted “upstairs” (presumably to spend more time with his family) and has handed over the day-to-day reins to Tea Total Trevor, hopefully still selling the finest beer (Harveys), wine and soft drinks in the immediate vicinity, at special prices.
7:30 prompt start from the Nevill – change rooms, showers and bar all open – it’s time to commit !
