Mt stepson's ex looks exactly like that car. Maybe a little less red.

Presumably the endoscope operator has a windscreen through which they look to avoid... er... splatter.

Fleecy - (oops, sorry, I mean Dr F)
1) great pic

2) I have a few years of experience coping with a grumbling achilles (not a Dr!), let me know if you want me to fmail my tips.

Running news - another cold run, plus river vaulting. The rivers we normally wade or leap are a bit deep & wide at the moment - so resorted to vaulting. Find a long branch, bash it to test it's not too rotten, then use like a pole vault* to get extra length on the leap, hoping it doesn't slip, snap or diintegrate. The technique has worked well, so far.

*without a somersault or flip!

eg :-


And in other news - (sorry, no photo) - the donks have now learnt the road salt trick.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
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.
