The Red Lion, Bradenham - 19th September 2007



Run Report by Kate



On a rather windy, dark evening, Jerome, Chris, Steve, Amanda, Jules, David and myself, met at the Red Lion Bradenham for a 6.45pm start. It had been rumoured that Brett might grace us with his presence, but it was not to be seemingly he had forgotten his kit !! Poor excuse !
We set out in earnest eager to get the dark bit done before it too dark. This we managed to achieve to a large extent, although Amanda did fall at one point (hope the hand is ok?). On coming out of the wood into open ground, Jerome, Amanda, David and me decided to run for home. David was for a while on the lead but we managed to catch him. 35 mins saw us back at the pub with Jules, Chris and Steve following shortly afterwards.
The Red Lion has changed a bit, carpet in the bar and it certainly smells better, but not for long after we had been in there! Talk at the pub was mainly about Gullane and what a great time the boys had had last weekend. No ‘tales out of school were told’ quite frankly I think they are all getting a bit old and slow. David mentioned some interesting guests he has coming to dinner next week, the words bondage and surgical gowns spring to mind, best ask him.
Talking of next week, this will be the last run of the season, the plan is to meet 6.45pm at the Spade Oak, Well End, Bourne End, quick 35 – 45 mins on open land, followed by drink in pub and curry at the Last Viceroy in Bourne End.
