Sorry and Thanks

Thank you to everyone for being so patient about the disastrous hash run last night.  I apologise  to all those who got lost, cold and generally knackered.  As it began to get dark and only a handful of runners had arrived at the Fountain, I began to get really worried and realised the course was far too long. I was very grateful for Syd and Gill’s help at the finish with finding and accounting for the runners.  Thank you both. 

The original route was to be from Wyndcliff Car Park to the Fountain.  We measured this route on a Garmin on Wednesday and found to our surprise that it was only 4.5miles ( sadly anyone who ran this last night even with no wrong routes knows that it is more like  7 miles ).  So not wanting to short change anyone we thought we should add on a bit.   Thursday bought more problems; on checking the course we found the flour arrows had been washed away.   Mark was then tasked to mark out the course from The Piercefield to Tintern in 45mins! 

I felt so bad last night – I’m so sorry to anyone who ended up running in the dark on their own not knowing where they were.    But thank you to everyone for being so good humoured about it, even after all that, people still said thank you!
