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!

Swept through Chepstow on my 10 mile run this morning, pausing only to collect my second badge. Am now in Brockweir. A great-aunt of Mr JK lived here quite a few decades ago, and Mr JK and I rented a holiday cottage here more recently. The layby in the picture is where we parked our car.

I ran in one of the very few races to take place last year and my leg (it was the Wye Valley relay) finished in Brockweir.I'll look forward to revisiting the area.

We enjoyed our break there, LD, the cottage was lovely although it had no front garden and a popular footpath went right along the front of the house. There were lots of nosy people gawping in the windows!

Also managed to judge my long run just long enough to reach Hay Castle - looking at Streetview, Sushi's just out of view down the hill and around the bend ;)

Duffus Castle was a Morat favourite. I used to run the loop from Elgin but the road on the West side was always a bit scary.

At 87 miles, reached a cow field.


But wait, what's that just round the corner? Brick House Guest House.
Looks like it will do me for the night


I may have to wear my garmin when I put the bins out tonight ...
