Pound the Bounds 2
Click on any photo to see a larger versionAfter the success of the first Pound the Bounds event last July, a second was arranged due to popular demand, and took place on Sunday, October 9th. This was an opportunity for athletic types, from the village and elsewhere, to compete in a cross-country race around the village boundaries. It was also an occasion when some of the less macho among us could jog around the course, while still claiming kudos for completing it. For others, it was simply a pleasant walk around a beautiful countryside.
Whatever, 68 of us took part, and had a good time.
