Peter_BGraduate in reply toBelindauk

ooh t'Egypt eh? Be a bit warm for running there I should think.

Are you doing the pyramids, valley of the kings etc? Or just dossing about round a pool at an all inclusive resort? ;)

Belindauk profile image
BelindaukGraduate in reply toPeter_B

I plan on running either early morning or late evening along the beach as it's right outside our hotel. I'm not doing pyramids or anything this time done all that in January and May ;-) this time is just to relax and enjoy the chill out time off work and life ;-)
