Roger was a great runner, a real hardman and a bit of a character to boot. Where is he nowadays anyone know?

I'm fairly sure I saw his name at a race last year or possibly the year before, it was the Bamford Carnival (or sheepdog trials) I think.

Roger B was out on the (ES) course today, cheering runners, if you want to contact him I have his details.....
A D'BG was something I always fancied a crack at; but, I'm far too old now and probably never really ever had the talent in the first place!

Too true Daz, all tough & talented and I've been lucky enough to spend nights & days out BG'ing & Double ME'ing with Roger & Boyd (who is sadly no longer with us)... both very modest, kind & generous characters... although I'm not knowingly aquainted with Eric D, but the name is familiar..

Rodger was also out running the Grindleford Gallop a week last Saturday. Looking very spritley going through Froggatt ;)

Hi Shackie,

Do any of you rucksack johnnies still do the Tan-Cat on a regular basis. I understand that this has been doubled too?

Hey up' YT

Tan-Cat & other RC long stuff still happens on a fairly "regular" basis; and yep, if my memory serves me correctly I think the TC has been doubled, either by GB/MC/TD/MH.... esoterically barking! I can find out details if required?
For my Sins I'm down as Whipper-in on a RC "North Wales Horseshoe" outing in spring 2008(best "super" long one I've been lucky enough to do - it will take me until then to gird the loins).... drop me a line if you ever fancy joining the madness... although, I'm fairly certain you will already be acquainted with some of the RC fraternity?
Cheers
