The Chequers, Wheeler End - 28th April 2010 (Run 5)

Run Report by Neil



A merry mix of fitties and fatties assembled at the Chequers in Wheeler End for a run designed to admire and take in the beauty of the Bluebells in the woods. Nice idea but the bluebells just werent playing ball. Apparently according to Mr Taylor it was because they needed a bit of moisture.

Other runners were Jules, Chris, Susie. Amanda, Steve, Jerome, Mark, Selwyn, John, Rob, Stella, Kate and Martin. The pace was set by Mark and Selwyn for the first 20 yards.... yes it was before others had started running but thats not the point.

The run took us through fields to the blue, or not so bluebells. It was at this point when the moment happened that I am sure will define the run and make it memorable. Yes here it is....... Susie I am very very sorry. Ok so maybe they didnt say it was a Bingo Wing like I said, but the rash is apparently not contagious. Sorry Susie.

A beautiful and extended run from last year saw us take in Adams Park and the surrounding fields. My only complaint was the severity of the hill after that..... it certainly was big but not very clever. Oh and the bugs. I think at one point Steve and I took in our daily dose of protein in one breath leading to the rubbing of eyes and a slight amount of gagging. (Clean your minds up)

Back to the pub after just over 5 miles and I personally felt cheated by the lack of chips. NO CHIPS, NO CHIPS?? Come on how hard can it be?

Another enjoyable evening with friends in the beautiful countryside.

Next weeks run is from the Shepherds Crook in Crowell a new venue which should be fun. 7pm meet.
