Samarathon

Despite my myeloma and the fact that I've been in Shielding, I've decided to take on Samarathon 2020.  This requires that I complete the marathon distance of 26.2 miles within the month of July.

This can be running, jogging or walking whenever and wherever liked.  I have decided to do mine over six stages along the North Somerset coastline.

Unusually these will provide images taken from my drone
