Well signed up for the hard as snails run its a 5k and 10 k at Surrey hills . I've been running some hilly routes during the week . Apparently these hills are something else , but the views are meant to be magnificent , so will find out , not ready for the 10k although working on it have managed 8k . So wish me luck it's in 3days time Guildford .

Ooo! I know this area - yep, staggering views and...er...staggering hills! 😮 St Martha's hill is one of my favourite places ever! I used to live in Guildford and walked here regularly. In fact I was there during half term, dragging my kids up the hill! Would love to take on the 10k - might make a note of this for next year! Good luck and enjoy🙂 Whereabouts are you?
