... to run and chat with refugees. We loitered ten minutes after the start time but, despite all the publicity and the fine weather, no refugees came. Pete had been volunteering with them on Mondays, and Tracey and Gwyn on Thursdays. We failed to persuade two refugees walking past to join us! We decided to have a gentle run up the river, and a gentler run back among the Derby County supporters heading to the match, during which we met those two twice. Tracey's navigation skills made it a round 5k.
