KLM

In three weeks’ time, Anna and I are off to Newcastle where I will run Northumberland Ultra. For the first time, we are flying KLM which, after numerous schedule changes, will give us an evening in Amsterdam. 

Eating some leftover Tortilla Española for breakfast, I am very much looking forward to trading Tomtebo for Victorian architecture and industrial grit as I add another piece to my English puzzle. The 58k race will follow long desolated beaches up to the wind-worn Bamburgh Castle. Thinking back to South Devon Ultra in the early days of the pandemic, it feels fitting to once again be back racing on the British Isles as restrictions are lifted and life is hopefully returning.
