    Fantastic day Good to catch up a few who were last year, and to meet new faces.

    Cheers to Amex for refusing to call it organising but still thowing the whole thing together, coming up with a route to run, getting us all round, booking the curry and going off checking The Loft was going to be open when we got the disastrous news from the waiters that it'd be shut...

    The run was good, weather a tad breezy and in cloud a lot of the time but didn't spoil the fun too much, just made that first pint at the pub even more worth looking forward to. Pre curry drinks with people not in lycra any more was good, curry was top nosh, but for some reason needed quite a bit of washing down after

    We more than doubled the numbers in The Loft when we arrived, but it did eventually get fairly busy. I wasn't the only one dancing away all evening, BoomRumble&Roar was on the stage with me. Amex was making a few good shapes early on too.

    Escaped a hangover, just a bit tired this morning, I have no idea what could have caused that. Got my Christmas shopping down at York designer outlet on the way home too, I was expecting it to be heaving but it was really quiet.

    Make sure you make your diary for next year!

    Oh and 'fatty' that was trying to get Al to dance turned out to be from Rosthwaite and some part of the Bland clan, so they aren't all elite fellrunners.

    It seems funky house and club classics means chart pop.
