2023 Spring Night Run

For a week or more, the weather forecast had been rain, rain and more rain but then on Wednesday morning the sun came out and stayed out. A good group of 12 members and guests assembled and began a brilliant afternoon session.

As dusk approached everyone began to anticipate their Chip Supper. The cabin was prepared and our supply of salt, vinegar and ketchup was got out.

An excellent platter of chip suppers was ordered and collected and scoffed with enthusiasm. The running then continued into the dark and a great evening run was had by all.


Jon, Alan and Joe took the photos. (Wednesday 22nd March 2023)


Some of these photos, in high quality, can also be seen on the BGRA Instagram Page.
