A Dirty Weekend in Essex
Sounds too good to miss, so Wendy, Ronnie, Sally and Mark set off to meet the stars of Towie in the sin city of Southend.
Too late for a Parkrun we walked to the end of the pier and back which is nearly the same distance.
Sundays Benfleet 15 was better than dirty, it was filthy. A brilliant, tough, hilly, muddy slog of a race with great views, lovely marshals, and the hardest last 3 miles I have ever come across.
I can now cross Canvey Island off the bucket list of places to see, but could well be back next year as this is a fab event and Sat night in Southend is not to be missed.

Dunstable Cross Country
Onto the final cross country of the season and the phrase save the best to last may be changed to, save the toughest for the last.
The organisers kindly added an extra quarter of a mile of hill for us to climb this year making the longest ascent of around a mile in distance.
NRR ended the season on a high for a number of reasons. Firstly it was our best ever finish, the ladies finishing 9th, gents 10th and 8th overall (don't ask how that works).
Secondly, and most importantly, we have seen record numbers of members turn out for these events this year. We had 43 members who took part in at least one event with eight members completing all five events. Well done to Ilir Brecani, Lynsey Brecani, Mark Garrett, Beckie Hollowell, Keren Irving, Elaine Palmer, Jo Smith, John Eales and Tom Sullivan for being ever present.
Onto the event! A fantastic run from the ladies with Beckie making the top scorer spot again and Lynsey completed her first full season after coming right through the ranks of our beginner group to cross country ever present.
Keren was also ever present, finishing with a trademark smile at the end, Elaine completed five out of five along with Jo.

Over to the men and David finished in second place overall with Chris and Tony also making the top 25.
Mark Lewis got his second taste of the cross country with Mark G, Tom and Illr completing the whole season five out of five.
There was the usual big cheer and encouragement from the finishers as we will everyone on until Sally finished at the end before heading off for a well earned cake.
Well done everyone for another great year in the mud and on the hills...thanks to Mark G for his usual faultless organisation and recruiting a great team. Special mention to Alan for continuing the fun bus and getting us there on time.

New Year Fun
Two Parkruns in a day...
Whilst the club were preparing for the run around Pitsford, Mark K decided to begin the year with two morning Parkruns in the North East.
Sedgefield was a beautiful multi-terrain style affair around a country park starting at 9:00am and Darlington South, a lovely park, started at 10:30am.
Sedgefield 26th 22:36
Darlington South Park 25th 21:08
There was a fantastic turnout from the club at Pitsford for the traditional New Years Day run. Well done to all that were there and those that decided on two laps to shake off the Xmas hangovers.
