Sunday 1st January

After the usual evening of partying it was time for the customary morning walk. A backwards variation on last year's - but a bit dryer. Again, as we passed it,  thoughts were given to The Drill Inn. One day.


Then, once refreshed it was off to meet up with a few more old friends and lunch at The Railway.


Start - Coffee 5½Km. Pause 10½Km - Finish 15Km. Total ≈ 9½Miles. (234m assent)
