Troops....’errr yes..the one about a mile away?’
Me: ‘ That’s the one, I want you to run faster than a thousand startled gazelles to yonder tree and bring me back a leaf..each...off you go!’
Troops: ‘wooooosh’
Me: ’ Boss, the lads are bimbling’
Ossifer: ‘Good show Sgt Major, cup of tea?’

I heard the word bimble when I was a small child. My father used it quite a lot and he was in the forces. I like the word bimble and I like to bimble. Bimbling is good for you and best practiced in like-minded company, although lone bimbling is quite enjoyable on occasions.

Re: Are You A Follower Or, A Leader?
When I was in my thirties and forties I ran fast and was a leader but now I'm almost in my seventies and I'm a follower. Can't keep up with the young spunks anymore....
Ultra distance running is a very lonely pastime though and sometimes you're not sure if you are in the front or at the back....
