Olympic Torch 29th May

Just seen the Eryri chaps at the top of Snowdon with Sir Chris on BBC News. Agree with the comments about using the bloody train to get it up there - nonsense.

Well we've got a club outing to Macclesfield next Thursday to cheer on Joe Beswick, a proud torch bearer. We'll brave the traffic chaos - that side of Macclesfield's bad enough in the rush hour without the main road being closed. We'll cheer Joe on, then we're going for a run from the Church House (pub) via Tegg's Nose & the canal towpath. And I think we'll manage it without being too cynical. And the club's splashed out to buy Joe the torch - he won't be putting it on eBay.Mind you, I think I'll be missing the Olympics. We're on holiday in County Donegal with no telly.

Give Joe a big cheer for me, God knows he's scared the bejesus out of me often enough while hollering encouragement at local races.

I'm stuck at home instead - my younger daughter came down with a stomach bug last night. Still, there's going to be 15 to 20 to cheer him on.
