More upstream chat


Had a later start than normal this morning and boy was it hard on a 30 minute run by the river. We are on our last full day in York and shortly go to finish as we started with breakfast at Bettys. But first a chance to go back to some of the conversations during the past few days.

Andy Garrett had his mum, Peggy, staying with him at Tickton near Beverley a couple of weeks ago - except that she spent the first night in the Royal Hull Infirmary after feeling unwell. She was feeling much better when she went back to the Isle of Man.

Denis Jackson also reported on visitors from the Isle of Man. John Cannell and Richard Creer were both in York on Sunday 7 July for the 30th and final Postman in Uniform Walk. Unfortunately Richard was ill and not able to properly compete. Denis is still getting close to the hour for 10km and that is his target for when he reaches 70 in a couple of years time.

Down the road at Doncaster, Kevin Deakes reported that the heat felt like he imagined it would be like in Bermuda. The fastest over 5km by an over 50 he can find is 17.51 by Kevin Vondy. Kevin Deakes clocked 17.35 on Wednesday.

Breakfast is about to be served!
