arriving at the Lakes Country Park, there's the park entrance on one side, and the water skiing club on the other . .

and entering the park you enter a pleasant world of green, and birdsong, and passing aeroplanes . .

when I arrived, Danny was already there, getting some extra rest . . two Scottie dogs, stars of tv . .

with Chris . .

meanwhile runners start to arrive . . of all ages . . and stretching and conversation is the order of the day . .

shortly before 9 am, the runners gather behind the start line . . go to the Runners page for the next photos . .
