Barry Barry 2013 - Not a race, an Amble. 13th July 12:30ish


Recommended Posts

It has been mooted, that as the organisers take a well-earned break from organisational duties, regular participants and attendees of this fine, established local event might wish to mark the occassion by retracing the route in a slightly more relaxed fashion in 2013


In short, a pub crawl starting at the Plough, ending at the Clockhouse (and if some people wish to embrace the off-road Barry pubs such as The Great Exhibition and The Actress, then so be it)


previous dates have been


2008: 7 June

2009: 13 June

2010: 24 July

2011: 23 July

2012: 21 July


So I propose either 13th July 2013 (Lambeth Country Fair is on the 20th, see)


Anyone else in?

It was a race with unique prizes. Highly professional athletes would compete alongside seasoned amateurs for honours. Many trained year round for some elements of the challenge. Young and old, two legged and four. A battle against the elements.


To call it "just a general piss up" would insult the memories of all those who have graced the paved streets of SE22 over five years.


There may have been a celebratory tipple or two consumed over the years, however.

So that?s what the Barry Barry Run IS ? it?s just not happening this year


But as up to 100 participants have taken part in each of the last 2 years, with at least that many at a pub either end, it has been a popular enough even to mark it?s absence

It would be nice to have The Barry Bears with us....


Calling, Calling...Anybody know the whereabouts of them there Bears?


Amazingly in 5 years they have never gone missing and make their way home even though we never know who actually has them!

Siduhe, thats amazing. Thanks. I do recall the chants of USA, USA, USA when dooking for apples at the finish last year!


Im thinking The Barry Bear may be lost....but I always have faith. Sure be quite a thing if Barry and Barriet were together on the amble and testament to the competitors in the BBRR that year on year we find them again.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
