On 22nd May, Paul Sanders, Paul Ayres and Malcolm Fowler are attempting the 'End to End', cycling from Lands End to John O' Groats. They plan to travel unsupported, cycling around 125 miles a day carrying all their baggage and arriving in John O' Groats on 29th May. The journey, on…
8th May 2010 Another really fun morning in the park running with half the local population. Giles had a good run to a course PB. Otherwise nothing special from the Wilmslow runners although we won the V45 team and the morning 5k gave an extra twist to our Sue Hool handicap…
