Spotted (and shoutedto) Old Croc but couldn't get a photo as he was on the opposite side of the road - he was closely followed by Runing Beard(?). Also got a couple of unknown Fetchies and then one of Meglet (and Geordie Girl?), running along the sea front. Spotted Pestomum and SRFC speeding along looking comfortable (again on the wrong side of the road to get a pic). Will try and upload pics later today
