Congratulations to Fiona Fullwood who completed her BG yesterday in 23:15. It was a complete pleasure sharing the support duties on leg 3 with Kirsty B-J for a contender who, as the saying goes, smashed it! I also very much hope that we can get the annual club BG weekend running again from next year.
Congratulations also to Majka Kunicka who completed the Frog Graham Round yesterday in what I understand is a new (to be confirmed) women’s record of 13:02. (Unfortunately, Majka’s fine run cannot be ratified as she inadvertently bypassed one of the summits by 50 odd metres.)
Upcoming events
18:45 Monday 26th July – Trunce

08:00 Sunday 1st August – Trigger is cancelled.
19:30 Tuesday 3rd August – Short Tour of Bradwell – The R.O., our very own Greg Rimmer would appreciate volunteers to help marshal the event.
