We hear from Steve Davies who has been hurling himself up and down and round the IoW…
I ran the Isle of Wight Fell series at the weekend [18th/19th – Ed], rather rash as I have
not run off road or on hills for well over a year and have never ran a fell
race before. 2 races on saturday and 1 on Sunday. Nearly all club runners a
pretty serious event not for the faint hearted, would make a nice club jolly
for next year, Serpentine targetted it with 50 runners!
