The early train

Some people drive. Some stand on the platform with a bottle and a layer tied at the waist, which is the photo. The run leaves at 07:45.

The 12 km group turns at the heath gate. The 18 km group continues toward Therfield and comes back the same way. Carry water.

If you miss the train, the Saturday start in Hitchin is still there next week. The long list is a choice, not a test.
