Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm afraid I'm out. Have been away from home/kids a lot recently and have to sacrifice stuff for the sake of family harmony. :( :(

I'm afraid I'm out too. A family visit has come up on that weekend and I can't see me doing both so something had to give - sorry :(

Going Commando!
Sorry to hear some of you can't make it, hopefully we'll see you another time.

Ok, here are the routes and further info…
The short one (6.7 miles or less if we avoid the shopping centre).

The Long one (9.3 miles).

If you are thinking about doing parkrun before TBC#7 please be aware that Reading parkrun is moving to their winter course at Dinton Pastures in Hurst this weekend for a few weeks. Their parkrun course page has been updated to show this change.
parkrun.org.uk

We’ll be at our home course of Woodley and it would be great to see you there.
parkrun.org.uk

We are still waiting on the pub to confirm their menu but you can get an idea of what they currently offer here.
belandthedragon-reading.co.uk

What we would like to know from you is the following:
What distance you will be doing and whether you will be eating at the pub.

I want to get a good group photo of you all before everyone sets off.

Please copy and paste the following post adding your name, distance and pub/no pub.
