2005 Teddy Bear's Picnic Run |
|
The overall mileage for this event will be moderate and the route planned to take in the views and the scenery with only the occasional short spirited sections, so the overall character of this event should be relaxed. The only thing YOU MUST BRING is, of course a Teddy Bear. No bear no picnic !!! This event has to be limited to 26 attendees because of the catering so get yourself booked on it before the rush! There is also a £2 per head contribution needed to cover the cost of the excellent picnic being provided by the Quineys. This event is now fully subscribed.
