Today is the big day and I’m heading to registration… #turleigh #winsley #hillclimb #dorothyhouse

A beetle with brown wing-cases and a metallic green head and thorax, on a leaf.

Garden Chafer (Phyllopertha horticola), a fairly common beetle in the summer, flies readily. The larvae live in the soil and are often eaten by birds and Badgers. Taken at #Winsley, near #Bath.

Before the run, waiting with my whippet

Finishing the run

A lovely event raising funds for #dorothyhouse this morning. My santa hat was definitely on the low effort end of the spectrum - some impressive santa suits, a few elves and many Christmas jumpers #winsley #jinglejog
