Brr!



Just thought I'd share this Pic I took recently with you all. It looks like it ought to be somewhere much much colder than the top of the Wrekin at Christmas. Click on it to get a bigger version. Brr!

Winter Draws on


And so the results begin to seep in, like a leaky old shed roof. Rich "Saddler" decides to throw in his hand wi' Stompers and comes crashing down from That Yarkshire. He picks the White Holme Circular race, which is 12 miles of ugh with a bit of yuk and some grunt, gasp thrown in. Here is is (left), walking(pic thx to Buddy). Anyhow, he IS walking, proving beyond doubt that there is no shame in it.
For those tree-hugging nature-watchers, I'm happy to report that the man is still living in a tent on the Wrekin, near the old rifle range (at least he was a couple of weeks ago) but we've not decided to let him compete yet in the league this year as it is feared he may in fact end up with more points than some of the runners.
On a day so windy "It blew the bogeys back up" (to quote a prominent local lady runner) several of the Brethren went to the Cardingmill Canter. To be sure, there was little "cantering" to be done so well done all of you for getting round. Nice touch too for Andy Davies now using his "Andy "T" Davies" stage name! He doesnt look much like Mr T though.
Jean Jeanie hits the front of the league as of today due to her gaining a Brian point at Cardigan Mill, this is due to her time being 150% of the winners but also because she picked up a point due to finishing in the 2/3rd. Nice work Jean. (Jean followed this up with a raid on the prize cabinet next day at Stourbridge Stagger, which frankly is showing off, and we'll have none of that thank you :) )

Don't forget to write in to us. We won't bite.
As they say, a problem shared is probably one you would rather forget about.
