Running through a river and swimming where the Atlantic meets the North Sea
I’m just back from a magical week which started in the north-east of Scotland where I lived for 17 years and was followed by Orkney — a first for both me and my partner. And I’m still processing it all! We were truly blessed with the weather: all those years spent on...
What happens when you wing it in a 10k race…
