Billed as the "3rd
toughest" run in the country, a respectable contingent of BRC
runners, plus supporting cast, made it down to Seaton and Beer, and
stayed in the hotel and a nearby cottage, enjoyed some great food,
failed to bond with Distressed Gentledonkeys at the Distressed
Gentledonkeys Home, and some kind of run.
A great mix of pics from the official photos, plus Jerry,Kai and Steve's mobile
phone providing some action shots...

Jolly cold at
the start, eh? Actually jolly cold all the way round. The commentator
was carried off with hypothermia. So fashion decisions ranged from "a
vest" (Ian) to "long sleeved top, vest, woolly hat, woolly gloves,
and (just in case) his coat" (Loyal Webmaster).

You can see a long chain of runners here disappearing
into the mist along the beech.... Nutters, the lot of them.

Note well-wrapped spectators shivering. And laughing.

Does anyone remember the 70's version of
"its a knockout"? There were two presenters, and their job was
partly to give running commentary during the games, and one of them, all he
could do, was laugh inanely as people fell over, slid about, bashed into
barriers, etc and got black eyes, and broken collar bones etc ( what we now
call the "who needs limbs 70's" ) well, whenever I see these
pictures, I think of him.

"Ha ha ha. Hee hee hee. That's got
to hurt.". etc.

Ruth says the group she was in decided
"Send the little one in first, to see how deep it is".
About that deep, then.
