Q Mac May 2008 4:23pm, 25 May 2008 702 posts	Quote Pin Q Mac Just back from Magic Roundabout 10k - what an experience. First trail run - heavy rain and wind all day - everyone got very wet and cold, runners, great marshalls, organisers and the great band Bandomania! No idea of time but just wanted to finish - hills seemed to keep on coming. Met another lunatic Fetchie - Running Bob. Always good to meet Fetchies! - we're a great lot! Photo's to follow

May 2008 5:23pm, 25 May 2008 268 posts	Quote Pin i was on the isle of wight visiting my parents and decided to do a bit of exploring in an area that i hadnt explored before. i got lost as the sign for the footpath i wanted was obscured by overgrown foliage. i got stung as i tried to run through the overgrown foliage after finding the path. its so much more fun going off-road, even if it is harder, slower, and often not very clear where you should be going.
