THANK YOU
Member, Simon Holloway, gave an inspiring talk to nearly 100 members and guests on Saturday 15th June about his experience completing the gruelling Marathon Des Sables - a 230km event over 7 days across the Sahara Desert in Morocco.
Competitors must carry all of their supplies for the event in backpacks weighing between 6.5kgs and 15kgs. Some of the topics discussed included blisters, poisonous snakes and scorpions, taking 200 salt tablets in 7 days, running up and down sand dunes and the camaraderie that developed among the participants.
