WRC Pub Run, The Old Crown, Messing, Meet 6:45pm
29 August 2021 - By James Attenborough
This week we return to The Old Crown in Messing. The car park is again very limited this week so please park courteously on the local roads.
Last week plenty of us stayed behind for food and drink leaving a happy Landlord. Please continue to support our pubs so we can offer the same pub run season in 2022! Remember we are using their car parks and facilities. Please, if you can, buy at least a soft drink after your run.
This weeks pub has perhaps the “Foodiest” menu of all of them. So for those who would like their pallets to sample some different food i can highly recommend viewing their menu! Menus – The Old Crown Messing
Please also respect the fact that some members may still want to social distance before and post the run.
Please note the meet time of 6:45, the run will start at 7pm prompt , this allows us 15 minutes for chit chat, ordering food and the announcements.
Please once again be aware of our club etiquette, therefore if you’re finding your group are more than 15seconds per mile ahead of your stated pace, it maybe time to shuffle up a pace group.
Of course if you’re struggling in the group you are in then give yourself an easier run and drop back! The group behind will only be a couple of minutes behind (notify your group leader you are dropping back)!
There are two routes available for you all this week. The usual road route (which takes in part of the Tiptree 10), as well as a trail route designed by our very own Jenny Layley whilst we were running in two separate groups. It has been recced by Jodee Mayer and Rob Frost so a huge thanks to them too. It is passable with a negotiation of corn and a few overgrown bits as standard.
