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!

Foxy i was very kindly invited to join the 100 marathon club jolly boys outing to Torhout in Belgium, I was up @ 5.50am to get 2 trains & a bus to Luton Airport to meet David Herron who was flying in from Glasgow & taking me to Stevenage to join the guy on the mini bus - many of the usual suspects were there - Gary Wade, Roger Biggs, Colin Poole & a few I recognised although maybe didn't know by name. We took the Eurotunnel & arrived around 4.30 pm, pasta & a pint at 5pm & the race start was at 8pm. I have to say I was yawning on the start line, I was hoping to finish the road season with a fast flat marathon in Belgium but the travel & running so late in the day meant I struggled but still managed to just finish on the day i started - with around 3 mins to spare. There were a few beers in the leisure centre & fries after the race - Micha the LPM Genk marathon organiser bought us all a round :) At just before 3am it was time to inflate my sleeping bag / bed & kip in the leisure centre - i was awoken around 9.30am but grunting women tennis players, I had slept well. we came back early which then meant I had to oppurtunity to trek cross country to Ledbury & crash on Philip's floor & do the Cheltenham Circular the following day :) the Flanders t-shirt was a simple but effective white cotton shirt & the medal very basic. 3 countries out of 6 done with 3 to go for my Bobby Moore fund challenge.
