Blue sky and sunshine at Brafield-on-the-Green for round 11 of the AGA All Comers championship
This is a fixture that I’ve always looked at and thought “I’d like to go there”, so we did, and what a glorious day! It was well organised, there were plenty of runners and I had lots of AGA colleagues with me. Anyway, that’s more than enough words, let’s have a look at some photos!
