He wanted to finish in a sub-five hour time and smashed his target by coming in eight minutes quicker than last year, clocking 4 hrs 55 mins.

Paul said: “The last 5k downhill were brutal, but the beautiful autumnal colours made up for it.

“It’s a long way from Lincolnshire, but well worth the effort.”

A bit closer to home, six runners from the club took on the Three River Challenge, a 15-mile riverbank and road run on Sunday.

This fun but challenging run starts in South Kyme, running along the rivers Slea, Witham and Skirth.
