Deepcut H3's Mountain Rescue (Richard McAllister) participated in the London Marathon on Sunday, 13 April 2009. Did you see prisoner number 6116?

We are delighted to announce his amazing, but naturally expected, success. Afterwards, Richard said,

"First, my sincere thanks to all those Hashers who sponsored me in the London Marathon.  I managed to finish in 5 hours 17 minutes with no blisters, bruises or sore joints.  However, the legs were somewhat weary and did feel a bit ‘old’ for the next 24 hours!"

Second, the really good news is that thanks to the generosity of all donors from UK, New Zealand, America, Canada, Spain, Lithuania, Japan, Afghanistan and Nepal the total so far has reached over £3,300 with the promise of more to come.  To this total is added Gift Aid.

Incidentally, the writing on the ‘T’ shirt is ‘Finisher’ and not ‘Finished’- although I really have finished running marathons!"

The anticipation was evidently as good as the finish. Photos below are before and after the event. I have to say, he looks equally chuffed before as he does after.

The DH3 Chip Chart

Chips were first mentioned in the report on Run No 198. The first grading was not awarded until Run 204 and given as a ’B’.  Thereafter grades were given in figures.  The grade is a consensus taking into account texture, taste, crispiness, size, quantity and temperature. 

Sad, isn’t it?
