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.

    • Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...
    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?
