This Week

Tuesday 17th Dec - A most enjoyable run up from the George's Lane/COR junction to the end of the tarmac mast road with JtE, NLN and SN. We were met en route by TYC, who had travelled cross country from last year's meeting place near Bob's Smithy. Conditions were excellent with a full moon and near clear sky; just enough low cloud to produce interesting effects with the mast lights. Only downside was the occasional patch of ice which prompted more cautious running than normal.

At the end of the run seasonal refreshments, both liquid and solid, were generously provided by the ladies thank you, both.

Then it was the short drive to the Bob's Smithy for further imbibing.

But the evening wasn't finished there, just three of us (no names, no packdrill) then proceeded down into Horwich to sample the various brews on tap at the recently refurbished Brown Cow, now rebadged as the Bank Top Ale House.

Thursday 19th Dec - It's the Horwich Hospital Run tonight (Leisure Centre at 7:00 p.m) but I'm being my usual anti-social self and will be at the UTUP if anyone is interested.

Saturday 21st Dec (Winter Solstice) - I'm UTUPing.
