Nuptials and nature – 10 June 2026
What a glorious evening! The air (possibly Arctic) was clear and the views were extensive; it was claimed that even Pendle Hill could be seen. Of course, that was not our only impressive sight. Closer Read more
Very fine weather for this British Championships running of the Peris Pedol. Some fine runs throughout the field (though not from me), and the women seem to have taken the MV50s to the cleaners on this occasion. I'm blaming my meltdown in the last third on Dicky W, who psyched me out on the start line with his, 'are you sure you don't have a twin two stone lighter than you?' routine. Carshare can no doubt fill us in on what this all means for the overall Champs results in due course; so far as the Carshare league team prize is concerned, this must, I think, go to Keith, Catherine, Nicky and Oli J (unless someone else can demonstrate otherwise). Surely one of the toughest (and finest) of the races on the Calendar?

In contrast to the previous few days, we were dressed in almost winter gear including Chris’s Bloomers, now modified to stop them inflating in the wind, such are the deep discussions before starting an outing. Read more
