Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm going to see how this week pans out before committing to definitely coming, but I probably will. If I do I'll come by train, are we meeting at the station or elsewhere?

JC - as discussed at XC this AM I'm up for doing the longer run. And I could be tempted by a cheeseburger and a beer.

I did notice that the long route skips a bridge (!) - the IDR bridge, which admittedly isn't pretty, but you can't do Reading without doing the IDR.

Pub menu looks good! I'm just about to book my train tickets. Are we still meeting at 11?

Gutted, but I'm a possible, rather than a probable for this now. Just too much else been going on. Hardly been home and need to keep on good side of OH to be cleared to do VLM.
If I do make it, then I'll be the long route :-)

I'm just falling in with the HDS crowd re long run. I'll try and keep up as I'll have already done 5 miles before I get on the train.

Pub looks great! Can we still leave bags there if necessary?

Are long and short starting at the same time? I couldn't remember. Thinking I might be up for the long one but would prefer to decide on the day.
