PARWICH.ORG 
Whilst you do an excellent job of trawling “the stunner” to get every last bit of Parwich related news, there is one event which slipped the net, and is quite an achievement for one Parwich resident.
Sunday saw the annual madness which is the Dovedale Dash. 1200 runners from all over the world, dsecend on Dovedale for a 5 mile run over hill and down dale (and through the river). It was also the 44th consequetive occasion that Clive Russell has competed, and although he didn’t match his win in the veterans section last year, he was runner up. A truly amazing achievement.
He was joined by a gaggle of Linnel’s, a Drummond, a couple of Amos’s to name but a few.
I sadly was consigned to my sick bed with a bad case of Chinese bird flu (is there any other kind?) and couldn’t even spectate.
Well done Clive!
