Sorry for the lateness of this report but I had forgotten that we had agreed to do this.
I always forget how long it takes to get to this pub after passing Hambleden. I made it there with 2 minutes to spare but I did have to call Chris for directions en route. Jules ran there down the Hambledon Valley (a glorious 9.8 miles in all) and the other starters were Brett, David, Spider, John and me. It was a great evening with the sun shining and the running conditions were perfect - very different to last week’s run.
We ran the normal route which goes east , through the now enlarged white deer enclosures, up a long hill (see attached pictures). Brett and David made an escape before we ran down to Henley and back along the river where we met up with Chris who did not manage to get there in time due to traffic. That last section along the river, past the lock and back to the pub seemed to go on for ages although it is a lovely stretch of the Thames. The run in total was just under 6 miles.
Susie cycled there and has us all a little worried as it was dark by 8:20 when she appeared. We ordered chips which were good although the pub does not score highly on other areas. As it is Monday evening now, some 5 days after the run, I cannot remember at all what we talked about in the pub. I know that there was a discussion about the last run of the season. If anyone remembers please reming us.
So not only is this report late but it will surely get the vote for the most boring run report ever, sorry.
This week’s run is from Kate’s house as she is cooking a delicious curry for us. Bring your own drinks. We will start at 6.45 as the evenings are drawing in now.
See you all there,
Amanda and Jules.
