Re: The athletics/running thread
Just seen this. Took dog out for an early morning romp over to Matlock but I'm now back in Cromford.

If you're in the Greyhound at Cromford before four o'clock (or let me know what time Saturday) I'll buy you a pint (no fxcking ecigs though) - I'll be the bloke with the laid back collie with big ears (the collie, not me).
I had no idea the Duke of William had camping. Watch out for those church bells if you're still asleep Sunday morning - the feckers have been practicing since D-Day and still can't clang a tune together.

She'd be fine in the Bakewell parkrun then... Not a molehill in sight, takes place along an old railway line, now a hiking and cycling trail.

I was all set to do Bakewell parkrun last year, but too much beer and wine on the Friday night put paid to that!Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 1:03 pmShe'd be fine in the Bakewell parkrun then...

I'm in the Duke Wellington now waiting for my girlfriend. We'll be off across the peak District back towards Bolton otherwise I'd have been up for that pint.

It was a bit moist. Mud all up the back of my wanderers away top. No big puddles though.

Re: The athletics/running thread
Lucky you! My long jump run way was one big puddle tonight! I’ve never been so wet at an athletics match. It absolutely pelted it down this evening. All the chip shops were shut on the way home too!
