This week the Trail Run is a run of LINLEY Valley. The special part is that we will be starting and finishing at Norm and Wendy’s House. Norm and Wendy have offered to host the ROC run and will have coffee on when we get back the Hot Tub will also be going so bring a towel and have a hot tub afterwards. The run will have one or two km of road at the start and finish as we work our way in and out of the valley. This is an invitation to all ROC runners, so even if you are new to the group please feel welcome to come to Norms. Can you email Norm if you are coming, just so he has an idea of numbers? normont@islandnet.com Please don’t email me as I will be away most of the week.
