RonManager Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 4 and a half hours tonight!! Is it a record?? God bless the transfer gossip to keep my spirits up!! Thankyou fellow saints!! Once upon a time I walked from Winchester to Southampton down the bank of the Itchen. Took about the same time!!
saintmonkey1979 Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Thats only 3 hours longer than it took me to get from from one side of Winchester to the other! A tiny bit of snow and then chaos!

St Landrew Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Decades ago, my second eldest brother used to miss the last bus home to Southampton, from Winchester, so that he could be with his girlfriend just that little bit longer. Then he'd RUN HOME to St Winifred's Road in Shirley..! True love keeps you fit.

He could register it as the Great Bint Run or something and get loads of people on it.

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 He could register it as the Great Bint Run or something and get loads of people on it. Loads of people did get on it which is the real reason why he stayed missing his bus foolishly thinking that it was then too late for her to stray
Junction 9 Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 4 and a half hours tonight!! Is it a record?? God bless the transfer gossip to keep my spirits up!! Thankyou fellow saints!! 4 and a half hours? I have done that journey in about 15 mins at night when It's quiet. I have no idea what the record is but believe me, you're nowhere near it.
St Landrew Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 That's a good half marathon that is....what route did he take? He could register it as the Great Bint Run or something and get loads of people on it. I'm sure he would have taken the old route, pre-dating the motorway and even the bypass, through Otterbourne and Chandler's Ford.
Redbul Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 I'm sure he would have taken the old route, pre-dating the motorway and even the bypass, through Otterbourne and Chandler's Ford. Oof, cycled that a few weeks ago after doing the Itchen Navigation to St Catherine's Hill. Tres hilly....
bridge too far Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Oof, cycled that a few weeks ago after doing the Itchen Navigation to St Catherine's Hill. Tres hilly.... Do you know - I climbed up St Catherine's Hill the day before I gave birth to my daughter :shock:
RonManager Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Do you know - I climbed up St Catherine's Hill the day before I gave birth to my daughter :shock: Used to go up there after the pubs for all night fires/parties back in the 70s.
Redbul Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 Do you know - I climbed up St Catherine's Hill the day before I gave birth to my daughter :shock: I didn't know that Mrs B.... Me and the missus climbed up Glastonbury Tor after she'd given birth to our son (quite a while afterwards actually....). He was in one of those off road type wheel chairs and we really struggled and strained to get him and oursleves up this near vertical grassy bank....only to discover when we got to the top that they'd put a tarmac path in on the other side. :confused:
Whitey Grandad Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 I'm sure he would have taken the old route, pre-dating the motorway and even the bypass, through Otterbourne and Chandler's Ford. That would be the Roman road then, the shortest route between two points, although there was a branch that ran off to the west through Chandlers Ford towards Bournemouth, Bakers Drove in Rownhams is part of it.
