I stopped as soon as the rain started to get heavy and put my Ebay Waterproof Jacket and trousers on before I got too wet. It was as well I did as I'd missed the left turning towards Athersone? for the sticker pick up point. Relalised as Storkfoot my trusty guide had disappeared. Rule one, don't get ahead of the guy that knows where he is going :oops:

Absolutely fantastic run though and all those involved in organising it deserve a MASSIVE pat on the back, please accept my heart felt thanks.

I was convinced I was going in the generally correct direction, obviously not as I ended up at Derby football ground, then the train station.
What a muppet. :lol:


Got to admit 'Old Lane' could easily be missed, especially by the boy racers!

Was this the Abbey pub?
We were in there last night, nice little pub. I was drinking the Taddy lager, nice pint.
It was very busy in there last night, there was a good few in the club over the road too.
