A still flourishing survivor of the Sladnor Palm Run in the eighties. |
A hot topic at the moment, I suddenly recalled the 10K Palm Run from Sladnor Park in the early eighties. Every entrant received a small potted palm tree. I got two as I won the event which attracted a couple of hundred runners. I planted them in a probably unsuitable shady position in my garden and only one survived. I've just popped outside to get a photo and was most surprised to see that it has sent out two shoots which are reaching for the light. A little piece of Sladnor history and I wonder how many have survived in Torbay?
