Climate Change


Kains Woods trail just past "Eagle Tree"on Sunday January 14th
The water is high, deep and fast


This is the same place on the trail one week later and you can see where the water line peaked.
That is LuLu in the picture to give you an idea of scale.

On Saturday January 20th our trail run at Medway had 35 runners out.


Sorry to those who wanted to have their shoes 'screwed' after the run, but I had to leave early.
I will keep the cordless drill and box of screws in my car for the next run.

Come Out for the Run..... Stay for the Abuse


It's 3/4 of the way through January and some of you dead beets have been noticeably absent from the Saturday morning trail runs.
Most of the excuses have been "it's to cold out to run".
Why last Saturday I heard an excuse that has to go in the record book of 101 excuses to miss trail runs.
She said she had to miss trails because her husband had been hit in the leg with an axe.
At first I thought her absence was because the police had her in jail for wielding the axe.
(for poor aim?)
But no, it turned out it was a self inflicted log splitting accident.
Lot's of newbies out to join the Soiled Sport group trail runs, so we should point out our trail motto:

  • No Cost
  • No Support
  • No Sympathy

Where: Medway Trail (Google Map link directions listed in the right hand side bar)
When: Every Saturday until March, then we start doing our trail series rotation till November.
Distance: 8km it's an out and back course so you can do shorter distance if you need to
Time:8:01 AM

Afterwards a number of runners head over to Farm Boy for coffee and tell tall tales and bad jokes.

A Winter Wonderland is just off of Wonderland!

Medway Trail January 6th
Soft and Fluffy Snow Covered Trails

Temperature was -18C /-25C wind chill

Siri is a snow dog for sure

It was so quite on the trails we heard numerous wood peckers in the tree's and with all the white snow were easy to spot.
Thanks to all the regular trail runners coming out and making the newbies feel welcome.
