Santa Dash Saturday

Here it comes. The Saddleworth Santa Dash whistle is blown at 12 midday on Saturday, setting off a thousand runners in Father Christmas suits through the hills of Uppermill and surrounding villages. I’ve undergone weeks of training… and I’m still a fat bastard. 

Whatever. I’ll do okay. Always a fun race with great food, drinks and music afterwards. 

Later that night, 90s rave group Ratpack (Searching for my Rizla) perform in Ashton’s Chute bar. I can’t guarantee I can be there so no meetup for this, but I’m tempted. Chute’s lineup has recently featured Bez from Happy Mondays, DJs who’d played in iconic club The Hacienda, and others known for long-closed clubs like Venus and Ampersand. 

Can’t wait to have a curry tbh.
