Great pictures Mark. Was a memorable event. Watch the riders and runners yomp home from the other side of the road on Peckham Rye Common.

I still can't get over the chap who ran in flip flops - I can't even walk in them.

Some of the pictures are actually very arty farty...especially the ones displaying the drinks...quite beautiful.

Very nice Mark.

Also well done to PennyD and friend for You Tube video. A great view!

That's right...he was having to walk all the way back to the Clock House after having gone home because he had left his credit card behind the bar!

Did you get your card back?

*tries not to laugh*

Hey guys, thanks for a great day and thanks to Rowan for inviting me along. The Bear looks great on the fire place, will make sure I return it to clockhouse soon. Must say I felt a little sore on Sunday..

Already looking forward to running next year.

Yes, well done everybody! A great day out (for the bit I can remember).

@peckhamgatecrasher, hmm, I tend to agree with you. I was one of the dressing-gown wearing flip-floppers - definitely not the ideal choice of footwear. Fortunately, the battle scars sustained by our feet came a distant second to those sustained to our livers...

[Rowanofski]

I think inviting Gregory "The Pocket Rocket" Wells was my last mistake. I'll never hear the end of this!

Hello again Sports Fans

Just a quick note from me to say an absolute huge thanks to everyone who turned up, helped out and wished well. This was certainly my favourite Barry so far and it looks like they're only getting better.

Congrats of course to the winners but also to everyone else who was taken apart. Gotta give some special love to The Dudes in the flip flops, not for running in crazy footwear but for having a White Russian as the drink of choice at the finish line. Pure class of the highest variety, Help Ma Boab n I approve wholeheartedly. And of course to Evil Kenevel who ran in the Gorilla suit, he's spent the last 2 days in MacDonalds trying to regain some of the weight lost during the race.

Thanks to Rufus who put us through our paces with the specialised warm up, keeping the 'Safety First' ethos of the race alive and of course to our lovely starting gun announcer Aodan who's photo above steals the show for me (he's the one in what he claims is not a mankini).

John and Sue (mainly Sue), huge effort on your part and you shall be so rewarded, probably in Guinness.

And finally (not bad for a quick note eh) SMB Barry and the bar staff of the Plough n Clockhouse, big thanks to you and see you next year.

Hope there's not too much Monday DOOM around, if there is, just go back and look at Aodan's photo again

Thanks to everyone, see ya next year for BBRR 2011

ps - Help Ma Boab got the bus. WTF is all that about???

Brilliant pics Mark...great work. As HMBoab says - I can see the Clockhouse running out of tables if numbers increase further! Apologies to all that I was unable to attend on the day (MrsBen hopefully made amends) but it looked Barry indeed.

And Bobby thats a barry vest you were sporting there...

[surfbobby]

Jeezo - totally for got to thank Mark the photy taker, great work sir!

[SMBJones]

Hi

ps - Help Ma Boab got the bus. WTF is all that about???

I would also like to state that my colleague abd I had a great day and thank you all for the warm response. Next year I will run the event in the "Fat Controllers" outfit.... just for the fun:))

I missed the race because I had something planned already, but the place was still buzzing when I got there two hours after it finished and it was nice catching up with all the old faces.

[karter]

i had something else planned too but the photos are great. thanks Mark. hopefully next year.

[Rowanofski]

In case anyone was worrying, I just got news from Greg that Barry is happy in his new (temporary) home. Remember that Greg - it's only temporary! Would look much better on my mantelpiece. Just as well I'm not bitter in the slightest.

[Michael Palaeologus]

[SeanMacGabhann]

[mazza7103]

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Go on Sean, you know you want to.

[Ladymuck]

Oh shit!

[Help-Ma-Boab]

A true reflection on the days events (hard for to me tell from the bus). Thanks to the producer for this bit of work. Top notch!

Over and out till the next Barry day

Fricking brilliant Help-Ma (ifs I can call you that). And amazing work whoever made the film - believe you may not wish to be identified, but if you do, step right up, because it was awesome.
