Dave O’Neill brought his knackered knees to Lytham to complete another Grand Prix. Dave’s commitment to our Championship is admirable, and even more so when you consider his knee issues. Four of last week’s Lancaster Half Marathoners made the trip to spitfire and windmill country. Ben Blosse being the first Toddie home in 37.23 for a top 20 finish. Emma …
