Jo and Julie's Report

From our reporter in the field Ginni Brooker

Having discovered the State of the Art Jubilee line (all very cosmic and shiny ) we eventually arrived at this strategic point , 16 miles. Suitably placed halfway up a little slope by Canary Wharf we thought we would be easy to spot! That is if I  didn’t fall backwards off the wall in my hungover and excited state. Phil was being patriotic in club green and doing his David Bailey bit. Good job he is a responsible committee member! Dave West was first through, striding in fine style. Wendy gave us a nice surprise as we thought she would have gone already, she looked very strong and indeed finished in excellent time (see results)

Unfortunately, although we were looking really hard, we missed Sis 1 and Sis 2, Jo and Julie Smith.....must have blinked! Before they were due, Mike gave us a cheery wave, followed  soon after by Barry running strongly. Tried to catch the girls again at Big Ben but once again they gave us the slip. Pam, I had some Kit Kat in my bag to revive you if you were flagging but we couldn’t find you and Chris, hope all went well?

 We were eventually successful in tracking down Wendy at the W spot and we were able to celebrate with her over rations (wine) from Phil’s rucksack. We hitched a ride home in the coach, talk was of Paris next Spring, I can’t wait to have a go myself now. Easy to say from the sidelines!

PS Our claim to fame was seeing Frank Bruno but we would rather have seen the 2 girls!
