The day of reckoning arrives. Up at 4am - got Phil up. Back to bed, up at 6.20, took dog out, got ready went at 7.20 to do .... the Belper Rugby Rover. Nearly killed me but I think I ran it better than last year. For those who don't know what the Rugby Rover is let me tell you it's 18 miles of up hill pain. 4hrs 19mins to finish it which I feel is better than last year - can't find last year's time but it'll be somewhere.

| Somewhere over top of Blackbrook looking back towards Turnditch (I think) |
 |
| Crich Stand in the distance - this was about ten miles in, I reckon |
 |
| This was me after 11 miles carrying too much weight and looking thoroughly knackered - it didn't change really in the next seven miles!!! |
 |
| I think this guy is the probable winner - he sailed past us in Ambergate Wood and didn't seem to be breaking a sweat! |

Up early. Dog walked. Visited Hollie's Belper Group (with pooch). Visited work with Pooch to get some paperwork sent off. Got back a bit late but tee'd off at about 11:35 with my dad. A steady round with a few pars and a beer afterwards, all good stuff.

After hardly playing any golf this summer I've had two rounds in two days. Played 18 with Doug, 29 points scored so not exactly to handicap but good fun and honours even when all said and done. We were all square on the 18th tee with Doug having two shots and me only one. He was at side of green in three, I was close to green in two, he chipped to 12 foot, I chipped to 10 foot, he drops a 12 foot putt in to put pressure on me (the thought of paying out a pound, cold sweat and all that), so I dropped my 10 footer in - all square and a parr on the last is always fun.
16/6.5
