I tend to wear club colours on the day. It’s always good for a few extra shouts from the crowd. I was thrilled that the away strip came back in stock in the nick of time and coughed up for the special delivery. Here I am reciprocating a hearty “SEAGULLLLS” received on the finishing...

Loved this year’s event. Heard all about the t-shirt fracas, which would have been maddening for those that were after them, but I’d opted for the tree instead. Superb crowds, especially in the final mile. Signed up for 2023 at the first opportunity and am looking forward to the new trail...
