the t-shirt marquee, with some of the early morning's snow . . pickles and olives and marmalade and stuff . . and of course, as regular visitors to these pages would expect, lots of Cayke!!

plenty of room for entering on the day . . and to have a cuppa and a bite to eat before or after the race . .

some of the volunteer marshals get their pre-race briefing . .

the phrase "a dog's life" used to mean that life was somewhat miserable . . but it looks pretty fine to me!!

couldn't do without a Race Director . . and these nervous runners couldn't do without the portaloos . .
