Hurley – 27th April 2007

A quick hour after work. 2 gates still, how longs this season lasting? very good. What’s not so good though is I seem to be developing some kind of tendinitis in my right arm. Hopefully a restful weekend will set this right though, the Alps are coming up in a few weeks and I want […]

Pathfinders/Abingdon – Monday 23rd April
