Nowadays I like to boast about where I am in the old codgers group. 5/15 in the M60s it was just for the record ;)Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-21558690701037927992009-10-05T22:28:23.324+02:002009-10-05T22:28:23.324+02:00187/322 - a pretty good result!

It's always good to feel there's a respectable number of people behind you, although I remember occasionally just feeling relieved I wasn't last.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-81375018975391023102009-10-05T15:34:57.568+02:002009-10-05T15:34:57.568+02:00Weaver, I agree The Dales is a most wonderful regi...Weaver, I agree The Dales is a most wonderful region. My favourite spot is the view from the snack bar lay-by at Ribble Head; the wide skies and the flat-topped hills, the railway line, the grass-munching-sheep, the limestone rocks, the music of the butting winds and the quiet burble of hidden streams...Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-64077785588729067092009-10-05T15:23:50.343+02:002009-10-05T15:23:50.343+02:00Thanks Dominic.

Came 187th out of 322 and was 5th in the old grey beards over sixties; 15 who hobbled to the start line trying to kid themsleves they were in the spring of life ;)<br />Yes, the Kenyan won!Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-19911326646120561012009-09-26T19:14:30.556+02:002009-09-26T19:14:30.556+02:00When I read of things like your post today I wish ...When I read of things like your post today I wish I lived in a place with more "culture", but then I go out into the fields and know that I couldn't live anywhere but here.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-67218705069619580582009-09-26T09:12:55.107+02:002009-09-26T09:12:55.107+02:00A bit far I'm afraid.

I've picked up a bit of a groin strain so I'll be unable to run for a bit. Bang goes the Snowdonia. Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men. I'm not having kittens as I decided from the outset not to put all my eggs in one basket. <br /><br />(I wonder how many cliches I could get into one comment?:) )Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.com
