Tortoise & Hare Run 2017
Following on from the success of previous years Tortoise and Hare Run's, we repeat the event once again. As always, it was a great success, if a little damp.
There were three separate routes, one for the 'Tortoise Run', which was for old, low-powered machines, one for the 'Hare Run', and one for the 'Snail Run'.
With this being a charitable event, a donation of £4500 has been made to Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance from the proceeds.
