The route has been carfully researched, there are potholes between Cholesbury and Studham at 10 yard intervals. They are sometimes marked with blue paint, yellow paint or full of water. The rest of the route has an uneven surface where repairs have been carried out or is marked by failed road surface signs.

2025 run leader’s and committee members wanted.

I am still short of run leaders and planners for 2025. There are now several committee vacancies, if you feel you can add to the running of the section please speak to Richard or Phil.

If you wish to lead a run, have a place you want to visit, or wish to help with the running of club events let me know. Remember, run leading is not that difficult, you would need to be able to let the secretary know where you want to go and check the route before the event.

Winter wanderings have not run for the last few years, anyone brave enough? Let me know.

The section 2025 calendar is now on the news page.

Fake e mails again

Sadly it appears that a number of members (and members of other related clubs) have been sent e mails claiming to be from a club member, requesting help. If you get one of these e mails, delete it, report it, but do not open or respond to it. If you are concerned as to the health of a mate ring him, ring me, and I will ring him, but don't be conned by fake e mails. Do not send money.
