I’m not the only person raising sponsorship for charity at the moment (See the widget to the right here). I just recently managed to stumble on an very impressive endeavour by people in from my home village of Priddy to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in memory of Lizzie Berkeley.
The West Mendip Way Super Challenge sounds like a really tough challenge: They’re running a total of 16 miles in three sections, and given it’s on the paths of the West Mendip Way, it’s not going to be an easy run!
The group behind it are the Mendip Hills Hash House Harriers. Hash House Harriers have been described as “a group of drinkers with a running problem“. It sounds like a lot of fun – certainly a change from some of the really rather serious (and unresponsive to my nods and waves) runners I get a bit wound up about on some of my training runs (I should stress, they’re in the minority: most runners I encounter are happy to say hello or at least wave back). I’m hoping to take part in a run next time I’m back in Priddy. My friend Jake, and his mum, are keen regulars.
In the meantime, best wishes to everybody taking part in the super challenge.
