We successfully reached the summits of Brayton Barff and Hambleton Hough tonight. And what a night it was! A massive thank you to Amelia for providing much-needed mince pies to go with our liquid refreshments for this year’s annual Winter Solstice Run. It was a fantastic way to celebrate the end of our Wednesday evening runs in 2024 while we take a Christmas break for a couple of weeks.

A well earned beer from Kirkstall Brewery for all finishers ensured a nice end to the day.
