Postcard #13 40%
My thirteenth postcard from my Run the UK Challenge.I'm now running through Leicestershire on the M69, which doesn't looks very busy though there are a few of those middle Lane joggers up ahead, it seems, clogging up the traffic. I'm on the way to Leicester and should...
Postcard #12 Coventry
Today I found myself running through Coventry and here is my twelfth postcard.I arrive in Coventry with time to stop only to buy an informative postcard, which is a pity since I've never been here before. Still, busy, busy. No, I'm not naked. My hair is not yet as...
Postcard #11 Stratford-upon-Avon
Here's my eleventh postcard from my Run the UK Challenge. I have arrived in Stratford-Upon-Avon.How lovely to arrive in Stratford-Upon-Avon, for the first time in decades. Shall I do the tourist trail or just spend time going to the theatre? Let's hope there's...

Postcard #5 Plymouth
My fifth postcard from my Run the UK Challenge.Today, finally, I have arrived in Devon, home to many of my friends. (Disregard the date on this postcard please. Wishful thinking.) I never know: is it cream or jam on the scone first? It's taken me over a month to run...
Postcard #4 Eden Project
My fourth postcard from my Run the UK Challenge. The Eden Project is another place that I have yet to see. I hope to rectify that some day. Here is a link to more information about it on its website. It's closed at the moment of course, so just as well that I haven't...
