Hell of a time!

Congratulations and thanks to all the devilish runners who took part in Hell Down South over the weekend!! Although not as cold as previous years, Carpuccino was there to supply everyone with delicious fresh coffees and organic hot chocolates - which had been well earned!! See you back there next year!

Gearing up for Hell!!

Not long to go till Hell down South, this weekend at Longmoor Camp near Liphook! Not going to be as cold this year, so we're looking forward to see a full field turn up! Do come and grab a delicious freshly ground coffee from Carpuccino. See you there!

Hell of an event!

At Carpuccino, we're starting to get excited about our next event ... two days of 'Hell' in the Guildford area ... Trailplus have their annual 'Hell Down South' event which takes runners to a new level of challenge, and pain!! Let's hope the temperatures are a tad warmer than the balmy -5 of last year!!!

Come and join us for a hell of a time!

Foxy Sunday!

Had a great day at Foxcote Team Chase yesterday in the Cotswolds. Carpuccino was there to supply all riders and spectators with delicious hot coffee, teas and hot chocolate. Thanks to all those who supported us.

Who'd have thought it?

A Half Marathon in October and you'd expect a little rain or a slight chill in the air? Not in Basingstoke last Sunday - temperatures soared and runners did incredibly well in the heat with the winner coming in around 1 hr 20 mins! Carpuccino was there to support the race, runners, supporters and volunteers and while coffee was still on the menu for most, as a first we sold out of cold drinks! Congratulations all!!


Early start on a gorgeous day!

Fun & Games

Had a great weekend hanging out in the Royal Crescent at the BANES Family Fun Day and Bath Skyride! Saturday was gorgeous weather and the turnout was great - lots going on for all the family. Carpuccino was there, and was busy! Sunday wasn't quite the same - we all got a bit waterlogged in the rain, but well done to everyone who did get up and out on the Skyride - what a great way to see Bath! Thanks for a fun weekend!

Bath Cycle Races finale!

Tonight sees the last of the series of 4 races being held at Victoria Park, Bath - come and join in the fun and excitement from 6.30pm. You never know, you might be able to buy a delicious coffee while you're watching!

Sunday shenanigans

We had a great day in Tewkesbury yesterday, in the shadow the The Abbey, keeping 1400 gutsy people supplied in delicious coffee, who'd just run the Tewkesbury Half Marathon!

Well done to all those who ran, with thanks too for all the fun supporters!

Warm up?!!

Evidently this is the way to warm up at the Bath Cycle Races ..........

......... I think I'd prefer a delicious shot of espresso from Carpuccino, if it's all the same ... :)

I like to ride my bicycle, I like to ride my bike ...

but not as fast as the guys did last night in Victoria Park as part of Bath Cycle Races!! Boy, did they go fast. There were about 4 categories last night, each one cycling around the loop in Victoria Park as many times as possible. Evidently the hill is a killer. I'm not surprised - once is enough for me - but 10 times!! I don't think so!! So Carpuccino remained in the Check in area and served delicious caffeine to the adrenalin junkies ... well done everyone who competed last night - see you there again next week!!

Back at BOA - it's the Landrover Cup this Sunday!

Another great active day at Bradford On Avon's RFC this Sunday ... it's the Landrover Cup where hundred's of youngsters will be battling it out for rugby glory! Do make sure you TRY our SCRUMmy coffee - Carpuccino will be in the LINE UP - we hope we can CONVERT you to gourmet coffee drinkers! See you there!

CaniX ....

Had a really interesting morning at Cirencester Polo Park last Saturday - watched numerous runners and dogs getting plenty of excise in the glorious morning sunshine!

Carpuccino sadly couldn't take part - as we were too busy serving coffee, although we'd have to admit we had a crucial element missing - a dog! But great fun was had by all!! Thanks to CaniX.

Barking Mad!

Come to Cirencester Polo Park this weekend for a barking mad event! CaniX (Cani Cross) UK is running a 5km and 2km run - you and your dog! This is a first for Carpuccino - we'll be there on Saturday to support your fluid intake ..... come and join us for a fun day!

Try'd and Try'd again ...

A great day at Bradford On Avon RFC - for the mini rugby Festival! Sun eventually came out, after a chilly morning - but Carpuccino was there to keep everyone toasty :)

See you back at the Club on 27th March for the Landrover Cup.

Rugby Fever!

Carpuccino is going to be up at Bradford Upon Avon RFC this Sunday for the Mini Rugby Festival .......... let's face it, with this cold snap, we're going to need all the warmth we can get .......... what better than having a fresh, delicious warm coffee to cuddle up to ... so do do come up and join in the fun!

Hell of a lot of fun!

On Saturday Carpuccino was at Cannock Chase providing support for the third of the Hellish run series ..... Hell in the Middle. 1,600 enthusiastic (if not slightly mad) runners took on the challenge of running 12 miles through mud, bogs, partly filled in quarries, and the gorgeous forests of Cannock Chase. The sun came out and there were muddy smiles all round :) A Great event organised by Trail Plus, well done Paul and the team!

Not surprisingly, Carpuccino was in hot demand - as soon as the gun went off and while the runners were fighting for a place at the front - so too were the spectators fighting for a spot in the coffee queue! Thank you to everyone for your patience! We got to you all happily in the end ..... the one draw back of delicious, freshly ground coffee, is the queue.

But a big thank you to the boys in blue who kept you all entertained, in the glorious sunshine!

Feeling a little Wicked this weekend?

Why not come up to Cannock Chase on Saturday and join Carpuccino at Hell in the Middle - not for the faint hearted!! See you there :)

Artistic talent ...... ?

Well, almost - still practising! Latte art isn't quite as easy as it looks!

Longleat 10K

.... this Sunday (6th Feb), come on down to Longleat House for a run around the park. Perfectly safe ;-) as the Safari Park is still closed - you can enjoy a gentle 10K run in spectacular scenery! Being organised by Race Timing Systems - it's not too late to enter, further information can be found here. Do come early - Carpuccino will be there to provide delicious hot drinks before you start, will promise to keep spectators warm while you're running, and will be there at the end to greet and congratulate you with a speciality coffee of your choice! See you there!

It's a Wrap!

After a couple of weeks with an exposed right panel, Carpuccino has been re-wrapped and is back to its former glory! Thanks to Dave and Raccoon who completed the job.

Happy New Year!

Carpuccino will be back at the entrance of Charlotte Street Car Park from Thursday 6th January 2011 serving delicious direct trade coffee and fresh croissants and pain au chocolate week day mornings till 10am. If you've not tried one - do stop next time you're passing :)
