 2024: Still enjoying the off-road runs, slower and shorter now. Mainly just parkrun events.
A bridge to nowhere The best-laid plans can go astray - who remembers the year at the "Stickler" when the whole river valley was flooded, and the nice new bridge sat in the middle of the water. Nearly as bad in 2021.

All events (including parkruns) cancelled or postponed from March 2020 due to corona-virus lock-down.

Events began again in spring 2021 when coronavirus lockdown restrictions eased.
Some coronavirus restrictions still applied for 2022. 		A well-earned rest in Portugal
