That was great fun, lovely to meet a few new faces (stickers for my Fetch sticker book!) Well done Sjjh, super fast buggy running - I spoke to a local who I suspect is normally first buggy and was a bit "hmm, who's this new buggy guy?!" but I told him you were across from west visiting and he was fine about it really!

Lorraine, handing your buggy over at the finish is normal practice at the 3 or 4 parkruns I've been attending recently. Seems to work well. I have to say, I'm astonished that no one has remarked on the handing over of small children and babies to strangers...! ;-)

Sorry I didn't go back to pub, was enjoying XC so much. Fantastic to watch. Then was under instructions to leave by 3pm sharp to get home for our little dog who was home alone. Look forward to seeing more Fetchies again soon (like Duchess, who I saw this morning up the Pentlands already!) :-) G

Was lovely to see you again HappyG :) Think if it wasn't for you and Dvorak pushing me on the last lap at parkrun I would have taken a walk break! Still shattered after 2 nights of broken sleep, so off to bed shortly. Bring on the next one :)

It was all great fun. The only thing more closely fought than the Hawkins/Korir xcountry was the evening Fetch dominoes!

Great to see everybody throughout the day, and sorry to miss the folks who couldn't make it.

At time it was a close thing...next time I either need less alcohol or less spots on the dominoes
