Running on..Colne River Charity Fun Run

Went back down to Doggerland on Sunday as lens man for the Essex Loafer's excellent Colne River Charity Fun Run. Around 80 runners on a 1, 3 and 5 mile course along the mighty Colne and up and down some of Essex's most feared hills (it says here).

Cracking running conditions and only one non finisher. Something about a dog and a bush. Excellent back drop.

High tech registration station.


Strangely most of the runners  seemed more intent on the fuelling station. No bacon rolls though.


Now, I've never seen the Loafer ever get stressed before. It is quite funny. And that crematorium urn is actually a prize. No, really it is

Some of the milers


The also rans. Official Aceeeed starting flag on a 5 metre whip


The glittering prize(s)



That stop watch might come in handy chap...



What do you mean the first 17 times didn't come through...

1, 3 and 5 mile winners



And of course a pint of Oak from the Grain Brewery from Norfolkcestershire in the Black Buoy.


Smashed it Boi.
