We have two more superstars in our midst.

This weekend Liona Riding and Debbie Rudland successfully completed the Round the Island Challenge at the Isle of Wight. Running that is – not in a boat.

It was 69 miles in 2 days. Liona was 1st in her age group and 3rd lady in the whole event.
A special well done to Janet Horrocks too who played a valuable role as their back up groupie, driver and did some marshalling too.

Well done girls. What an achievement!
