our pals Julie Gardner (sans chiens) and Jo's 'big sis' Alison Brind, who are having a go at the Grand Raid Reunion next week.
They tell me Reunion is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, (hopefully their pilot knows a bit more) and the race seems to involve 100 miles running up and down volcanoes. Just like Buxton then.
I'm sure they know what they're doing..... well, erm, fairly sure.....

All the best Ladies.
