GR20

Adventures
In researching the GR20 I kept on stumbling across quotes such as “The Toughest Trail In Europe” and ‘The Hardest Trek in Europe” but everyone seems to want to be the hardest and the toughest at the moment so I chose to take these quotes with a pinch of salt.

LONG ROAD TO COMRADES

Adventures
Whilst researching running expeditions I was advised to get in touch with Dave Chamberlain as he was currently running around The World. As I was chatting to Dave he asked if I was free in May and would I fancy running from Cape Town to Comrades? Without really thinking about it or asking what I was getting involved in, I said yes!…
