Re: Club runs - 12th November

Hi George, we're going to stop at cafe H20 on Fossil bank, just over 40 miles in so I'd say 10:30-11 is a safe bet.
My number is 0792612359 if you want to meet there.

Re: Club runs - 12th November

I guess it's that time of year for me to do my annual club run lead so I can take the A run this Sunday if nobody else was planning to.
Would anybody be up for a slightly earlier start? Meet at 8, leaving for 8:15? It's properly light by then so no need to worry about lights.
