Yay! I woke up this morning thinking I might be very busy on my own (plus four wonderful parkrunners). It's partly my fault for not being on Fetch much at present.

I'll be there from about 8:30.

You can find Fetchpoint here: maps.google.co.uk

Is anyone able to go to the start to collect personal drinks?

You'd have to drive it over. I have been able to get you car access to the start before. Is it worth asking them?

Thanks to all at the water station, superb as ever. I wasn't in Fetch gear this year, apart from a buff, so was a bit harder to spot than in garish red and yellow.

Thanks to everyone for a great time at the water station today - thoroughly enjoyed myself once we had eventually got there! Sorry for the delay in arriving - we hit a closed road snag, and had an unintentionally long diversion, but glad we eventually made it.

Becca - thanks for shouting to me as I would have missed you otherwise! You were looking very strong when you shot past us, hope you had a good race and a pleasing finishing time! :-)

I thought I saw you, Becca, hope you had a good run.

I have a hatching plan to run this again next year.

Was that Fetchpoint in the usual place this year? Apart from a Fetch hoodie on display it was hard to tell. Thanks for the water.

Yes Paul. There weren't many of us and we had to cover up with yellow bibs. I had red and yellow ribbons in my hair and made as much noise as I could.

I've advised the organisers that they will need to find another group to run the water next year. If we'd relied on Fetchies there wouldn't have been enough people this year.
