Yes indeed, it was one of the busiest racing weekends of the year, and a whole bunch of people were out getting their vests on. I’m certain the weather looks good in most of the photos, but rest assured, in some places, atmospheric conditions were not good in the slightest. It was superb to see …
Well, what a funny old week. Various bits and pieces have been happening, as tends to when we get to May and the whole racing thing really kicks off with a sha-bang. A fair few people out and about over the past 7 days, so quite a bit to read. Grab a cuppa and try …
A few things happened this week.

Quite a lot going on this Bank Holiday – not only were there a load of races going on, but also people heading out on the 3 trig challenge, parkrunners, moochers and general bog bashers. The weather held fine, which was astonishing in its own right, the summer legs are certainly coming out to play! …

If the weather continues like this, we’ll have a hosepipe ban within a week and the Daily Express screaming …

That was the Spring, that was. Whatever happened to summer? I hear you cry. Ah – it was that lovely evening we had last week, just before autumn happened again, and now winter is on the way. Sleet and snow on ‘tops this week (so they say) so wrap up in your best vest and …
