Offa's Dyke 15

Write up from Mitch A really nice, picturesque15 mile route along the England/Wales border was totally ruined by the harsh, inconsistent cut-off times imposed by the organisers. We hit the 7 mile deadline (1 hour 30 minutes at 13 minutes a mile) at 1 hour 33 minutes to be told by the marshal “I’ll let you go, but you won’t make the 10-mile cut-off!”. To say we were angry was an understatement – the 10 mile cut-off was 2 hours, so they were expecting you to do the next 3 miles at 10 minutes a mile, 3 minutes a mile quicker than our first seven!

Broadway Hill Charity Run

Thank you to Craig Robinson for the following write up. Thank you to Barry Cornelius for the photographs. Helen and I travelled down to the Cotswolds to take part in the Broadway Hill Charity Run (To the Tower) on a warm June 5th evening. It’s a 5 mile multi-terrain race, mainly off road, taking in the beautiful countryside around Broadway. The route included stretches of footpaths and side roads, meadows and some farm tracks but most notably a very large hill (which I have to admit I walked parts!
