The Otley Run

The other day they ran the London Marathon. This morning I watched from bed the Edinburgh 10K. Most evenings this week as we drove Emma to Boddington Hall along the Otley Road from Leeds. It is home to over 40 pubs and it is a badge of honour for some students to complete the above run, involving visits to all 40+ pubs. And presumably have a drink at each.
Tonight we passed young men wearing dresses their mothers would have been happy to povide, certainly not their girlfriends – if they had one. And girls in very short dresses.Yesterday it was girls in very colourful costumes. The “runners” are not hard to spot and given their lack of road sense it paays to keep an eye on them.
The Otley Road goes past some parks, a ruined cathedral starting with K , lots of colleges and small hotels, plentiful restaurants and pubs (as previously noted) an then eventually we leave the congestion behind, cross a major roundabout and so to Emma's college. She has enjoyed her time at Boddington and it is far from grey and drab where she lives.
She has done some jogging in the area but is yet to try an Otley Run. I don't want to know if she does.
