"Another Fracture!"

Sat 21st - 11:00am - Mount Famine - five miles and some steep climbs up and around Mount Famine and South Head. Once again the rain stayed away for most runners and most made it back in one piece. Commiserations to the runner who sustained a break for the second year running! Alasdair Campbell was first back again and Steph Curtis was first woman. Thanks, as usual, to Mark and his team for organising.

"Bollington Three Peaks"










A very hot day for one of my favourite races and with beer and chilli for all finishers. It was great to see Matt and Lucy at White Nancy to take my photograph!
 Five and a half miles around Bollington's main "peaks" in 1.00.18 and 40seconds quicker than 2014.

"The Rainow 5"


For once it was a glorious sunny evening for this popular local race. Acting as sweeper and course marker collector I was able to take my time and have a good chat with the back of the field.
