I wouldn't have been as upset if I wasn't already feeling a bit shitty. I still would have probably seen red though because that kind of patronising shite really winds me up.

All private schools are charities (ho ho) and claim that they offer benefits to their local communities. Leaving aside the rights of way, no excuse for bullying and intimidating a lone female runner.

GimmeMedals Apr 2020 10:50am, 22 Apr 2020 16,606 posts	0 GimmeMedals That really is unacceptable behaviour from a school employee. A letter to the governors is called for, Linds. If there are rights of way on an OS map, they are rights of way, and the school should be honouring that and this also needs pointing out to them.

LindsD Apr 2020 10:53am, 22 Apr 2020 35,463 posts	0 LindsD Thanks all. I will think about writing to the governors. I wasn't on the right of way when he first apprehended me (he was in a Harrow School pick-up, so obviously a groundsman type thingy) and sent me back. I didn't stray from the rights of way after that, though. You can see it on my route.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-)

And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
