This was one of Steph’s great ideas and even though she won’t be joining us at the festival I couldn’t let this one go, as Steph is one of the best organisers I know and she writes a mean list. So, if you’re one of the 900 folk heading to Love Trails Festival this week read on and remember, I’m a ambassador and will be leading a few runs over the weekend so please join me and say hello!
