what are the locations anyway?


Mate I got made redundant 4 weeks ago and have been doing all sorts of odd jobs just to get by, if I stayed indoors job hunting on the net everyday it would drive me mad so one day and a few quid spent on petrol is well worth it even if I can't really afford it.


I do agree there Bry but tbh i have not been stuck in much at all really lol. i been to the gym almost every day & Jacuzzi/Sauna/swimming every other day, been out in the mr2 a little bit and done a fair bit of flying !! Oh, and i been looking for a job tooo ofcourse! Jeeezz i forgot how nice it is to be unemployed! however, funds are heading in a downward direction and i do need to start looking after the pennies a little now. Perhaps if one of me mates is prepared to come along and chip in a nice slice of petrol monies, ill come along ;D

Directions plus a marked up map will be handed out before we start.
The overall distance of the run from start to finnish is 67 miles. We finish in Ashford no later than 4.00pm. Hope this helps.
