49th Radley Good Friday Walk
06 April 2012
|
| |
| The 2012 race marks the 49th anniversary of an event that first took place in 1963. What is actually the 50th race started in brilliant sunshine though the air was a little chilly following an overnight frost. |
| |
A firework rocket signals the start of the 50th race.
|
| |
|
Some are off the mark quicker than others
|
| |
and start to push ahead
|
| |
to create a clear lead.
|
| |
Here they are striding past the bus stop…
|
| |
|
with the rest of the field hard on their heels.
|
This is the rear guard only moments behind.

10th Radley Triangle 2012
|
| |
| For younger participants and those who favoured a shorter walk, there was the popular Radley Triangle – down over the railway bridge to Lower Radley, around the Lower Radley loop and back. |
| |
People of all ages, shapes and sizes took part….
|
| |
with some showing a clear competitive streak
|
| |
|
|
|
but for most it is a walk to be enjoyed.
|
| |
Traffic was held up while participants returned to the pavement .
|
| |
|
Then came the descent into Lower Radley…
|
which some found easier than others.
|
| |
|
| |
| A total of £74.20 was raised for the Village Fete Fund |
