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 ventured to its page on Wikipedia. I rather wish I hadn't.

Have a look at somethingawful.com. The internet makes you stupid.

Love the GOONS.

Ah, good. My workplace decided I rather shouldn't look at that place.

Ampthill Trophy tomorrow. Heavy rain forecast overnight, but dry for the actual race, so should be nice and muddy! A good hard intro to the xc series down here.

Nice day for it today. Supported while Curly ran at Lightwater (sorry, didn't see you Garfield) in the opening Surrey League match. Our Ranelagh ladies had an impressive 14 runners and put in a strong performance and we also had an U13 team for the first timee in years. We hope we can get promotion back to Div 1 at the first attempt.

Julia Bleasdale was, unsurprisingly, in a race of her own for Thames Hare & Hounds.

Then we travelled over to Wimbledon Common for the men's race where we also had a strong performance. I intended to keep it an easy run as I have a 10 mile road race tomorrow. I found myself right near the back so I ended up running much harder. It was enjoyable though.

Oh Garfield based off Magpie's description I did talk to you at the start of the race! Sorry didnt realise it was you (I was explaining to the newer runners about not needing to worry to about division 1 women ;)).

Well done on running and marshalling :)

Enjoy it Frobster - hopefully they'll all seem easy later on ;)

Hello JB welcome to thread and back (Bach ;)) to XC!

Hee hee Curly, yes that was me and I thought it might have been you! Should have asked if you were a fetchie...but would have been embarrassing if it hadn't been you! Thanks and nice running. Our Gilbert won the men's race...

Smashed my previous course record by 2 minutes. Stoked, as they say.
