Saturday:
Local DJ Elliot
Eastwick, from Revolution radio station, sounds the horn. A hundred-or-so identically-dressed Santas start a steady jog down Uppermill's High Street and on
towards the surrounding countryside villages. It's Saturday 2nd
December, and the annual Santa Dash has begun.
There's
a blockade of Father Christmases, male and female, taking over the
road, breaking into a run, heading out down unnamed bridlepaths. By
the time I get back to my car, they've already taken routes that I
can't reach. I look online, but it dawns on me that I can't read maps
anyway.
I
might give competing a shot next year.
