A family affair @Hantshoppit yesterday. @rich_usher and I ran the half with our son Robbie & Uncle Jamie did the marathon. Loved it! No single-use plastic, & so well organised to be both covid safe and friendly. Can’t wait to come back next year. Thanks to all organisers! – at Reading, England

Lovely walk up Regents Canal past old haunts (remember our rides @rich_usher?) and new spaces on an unexpected overnight in London. Thanks @MazzaSW for fab hotel - well worth the walk and great not to be battling trains and tubes!
