No, the title of this blog has nothing to do with prisons or prison officers - it's just to say that we are still on the run as is evidenced by this photo which is now on the front page of Brentwood Parkrun's newsletter. Having a long weekend working/housesitting in Essex to contend with we searched for a local event and found the delightfully muddy Brentwood event, a single loop though woods and across fields in a hilly country park. And even though we're miles from where we usually run, we still found a familiar face in Paul Jeggo who won the WFRA V50 series a couple of years ago travelling up from the Chelmsford area at regular intervals. Paul did exceptionally well and was only just beaten at the finish by two seconds.

This being Essex and just outside the M25 we found that the local ale was more than a touch on the pricey side but we did find the wonderful 'miles from anywhere' Moletrap where we were treated like long lost friends. According to the pub website there's only one pub in the country called the Moletrap - and this is from the pub history page -
'
Samuel Threader
invented a mole trap. He put it for commercial sale and made enough
money to enable him to build a house. He named that house ‘The
Moletrap’. In 1871 it is recorded as the Mole Trap Beer Shop.'
