Gill Gets Greedy for Gottles of Geer!

Not content with winning her age group bottles of beer at Pen y Fan on Saturday, Stottie returned to the Beacons today and this time won two bottles of wine (she thinks she won just the one prize and asked me to collect it when she left early to fulfill a social engagement, but she also won a bottle for being a member of the winning team. I’m hoping she doesn’t read this as I’m hoping to guzzle one of the bottles to comfort me for a rubbish run).

I haven’t seen the results nor spoken to Mr Stott, nor Mr & Mrs Ashton so I can’t comment on their performance, but I shared a car with Matthew L who reckoned he had a good run, being 8th at the summit and finishing a creditable 13th.

I do know that Colin P wasn’t content with a mere 10 miles and decided to add another 4 to make it worthwhile, by improving upon the organiser’s set route and including a premature recce of the Brecon Beacons race course!
