Jolly good fun and thanks to all who came along, especially SJ and the clan.

Barriet is happily standing on my sideboard until next year.

Spotted Barry Bear on the 63.

Great to see/meet everyone at the amble. Cheers to SJ for organising.

Edit: can't post pics! Also BB was spotted outside the Castle yesterday!

Great afternoon / evening out, thanks to those who organised.

[StraferJack]

wasn't a bad day at all was it? So much so that Sunday was spent not moving, with a range of plans all getting shelved

@ gingerbeer - in the past, people have uploaded files to flickr or similar and pasted a link here. Given the amount of pics I think you took, some editing may be required ;-)

Look forward to the return of the proper event next year tho'

Hello everyone.

[Gingerbeer]

Don't judge me! Someone will thank me! One day. Maybe. Pics here..

[StraferJack]

Good work gingerbeer - nice to know 2013 has been documented

[StraferJack]

so.... who is looking after 2014?

[Sporthuntor]

I've always fancied a crack at the race (no chance of winning unless booze requirements increase!). Will the pace increase this year or are we still in amble mode?

[StraferJack]

Demand will need to pick up before anyone considers the effort I think sport

[ruffers]

I was under the impression this was going to be a fallow year?

[StraferJack]

Last year was meant to be the fallow year

Hence last year being an amble rather than run

'Twas good. People should do it again

[jacks09]

What are the normal rules? This looks so much fun!

If it is done could I suggest a date after the 20th June for entirely selfish reasons?!?

[StraferJack]

Turn up noonish at plough

Wend way to clock house

Thems the basics

Proper Barry Barry run would necessitate running gear, timing, organisation

But. 2014 suggests another amble at best. So see who turns up at plough and crawl towards clock house

Last year started slowly to be fair. But by midnight a fair crowd were receiving calls from partners asking where they were

July is always likeliest month

I have a bit of history wi the Barry Barry Road Race. A event that needs a new energy, the lets meet thread in the what's on section, seems the natural way to keep the Barry Barry Road Race alive.. Somebody needs to step up. Bears are available...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Couldn't 2014 be the year of the Barry Barry Three-Legged Race? As a confirmed spectator, that could be very amusing.

Hey guys, i'm the new(ish) manager at the Clock House and just stumbled across this. :)

would love to be involved when a date is confirmed! Aaron.
