Running 2010 – Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone
19th October 2010 – My Next Running Task, Silverstone Half Marathon, Silverstone Well, in between updating the Monte Carlo trip I reckoned I’d add some other bits and pieces of information before I start trying to catch up with everyone else’s news (and if there is something you really think I should see, please link…
Running 2010 – Northampton 10K, Northampton
Sunday, 3rd October 2010 – Northampton 10K, Northampton Today I ran the Northampton 10k – it was great fun. Here’s how it went. I woke up a bit later than I’d intended to (set the alarm for 7am then didn’t switch the on switch, so I woke up at 7.20 instead). I lurched around getting…
Running 2010 – Race for Life, Silverstone
Wednesday, 9th June 2010 – 10K Race for Life, Silverstone So finally 9th of June rolled around and all the training I had done was going to either pay off and I might be able to call myself a runner, or I was going to be horribly shown up as a fraud and end up…

Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9
Friday, 15th/Saturday, 16th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 8 and 9 Saturday was yet another sunny day, so much so that I didn’t even bother with my anorak to ski, going out instead with just a fleece between me and the outside world… I knew there’d be no point keeping going much beyond 1.30 so…
Travel 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4
Saturday, 8th/Tuesday, 11th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4 I got home latish on the Friday night (that’s the trouble with going on holiday – there’s always a ton of stuff to do at work before you go but I’d promised so I did a 10-hour day), which of course meant I spent…
Travel 2005 – Combloux, Megeve, Bettex, Rochebrune, France
Friday, 26th February – Sunday, 6th March 2005 – Combloux and Megeve We were catching a ridiculously early ferry from Dover – 5.00 or something ghastly – which meant we should be in Combloux by mid-afternoon all being well. It also meant we were staying in a hotel near Dover overnight on Friday, because I…
