I suggest we do this flat 10.5 mile route on Saturday morning – when it’s forecast to be slightly cooler! It incorporates part of the 7 Stiles course, so a final check can be made that it’s ok. Partridge Green residents will note it passes through their vilage if they are inclined to join us. The terrain should not prevent its being continuous, although there are also plenty of opportunities for runbacks.

Please note that this weeks pub run will be from the Bolney Stage and not the 8 Bells, who are unable to accommodate us this year. The ‘Find Us’ and Event pages have been updated accordingly with the route map and directions!

This is tomorrow morning’s suggested route of about 12 miles. It’s mainly flat, apart from the short sharp hill beside the caravan park at Golding Barn. It should also be continuous, except possibly up the said hill where some walking may be in order. The pace will be democratically determined – anyone wanting to run faster will simply have to wait or run back at regular intervals.

The weather is a tad cooler, so I suggest we do a slightly longer run on Saturday morning at the usual gentle pace. This route is just over 12.5 miles, flat and includes part of the unique Spithandle Lane we all know and love! The shortcut from Buckells Farm takes off about 1.5 miles and the one through Lock Farm and Claylands Farm about 5.5 miles.

Due to the World Cup Semi Final match where England will play Croatia, kicking off at 7pm, the proposed Shepherd and Dog Pub Run is shelved for this week. The visit to the Shepherd and Dog will still take place but on 22nd August now.

There will be a usual Wednesday run from HLC led by Eb for those non-footballing runners! Meet at 7pm as usual.

Few people seem keen on particularly long runs at present – it must be the weather! This is the suggested route for Saturday morning, which is only 10 miles with a shortcut that reduces it to about 8. It’s also flat and shouldn’t be overgrown.
