You know the Lou Reed song "Perfect Day", well does this qualify. A PB in the morning, Faversham Hop Festival with beer and bands in the afternoon, KFC takeaway and finished off with Match of the Day. Perfick as Pop Larkin might say.
I am going to try the 18 mile option of the White Cliffs Challenge tomorrow. Should be interesting as I haven't run more than 6 miles (or posted on here) for the last 6 months!!!!!!
Calling all club members who missed out on a VLM place. This year the timetable has changed and the draw will take place at the October meeting. CHeck the club website for details. Remember you must have been a member for a year and have marshalled 2 events this year.
I have an old faithful Garmin 105 which I replaced a few years back with a 205. Fortunately I kept the 105. The 105 had a battery charge of 15 hours, the 205 only 10 hours and now it has died completely and I have binned it and I am using the 105 again for now, but I know it is on its last legs.
When I have been looking at reviews of the current models in Amazon there is a lot of adverse criticism about newer models only having 8 hours charge (this is progress!) and the fact that a number of the models seem to fog up easily even with just normal rain.
Are Garmin still the best on the market or does anybody have a good experience of any other make. Any advice would be appreciated to stop me making another expensive mistake.
