andelscott Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Jonesey just pointed this out to me ... I suppose that's better than pointing it out after it happened and asking where was I! So anyway... see you all there, I suppose! Anyone told Les yet...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hoath Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sorry about the silence on this but i'm here now. It would be great to see you guys down here next weekend. There will certainly be a few of us at Dunstable on the Sunday although the Saturday is not looking good if you were planning on making a weekend of it. We were faced with over a 1000 runners this weekend all looking hot and sweaty and generaly getting in Gary's way. So it will be nice to get a bit of our own back. See you all soon.

Obviously I've ironed my pink shirt and been practicing pie eating all week but my whinging's a little rusty ... I'd suggest (in this order): * arrive, fly, lunch (see 3 below), fly more, (optional) pub, go home; * leave the mankini at home (please); * clanger (but avoid the veggie ones) or burger & chips. ...and I'm told that whingeing is like riding a bike: it'll soon come back to you with minimal practice...

Yrna Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'd suggest (in this order): * arrive, fly, lunch (see 3 below), fly more, (optional) pub, go home; What, you mean we have to fly hungry when we first arrive? Scandalous. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again! Sanja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the link to the images.
