Escape from Meriden

Pain, discomfort, hallucinations, tiredness and hunger. Am I selling this race to you yet? It wasn’t all bad, honest. It was an amazing experience and I learnt so much about myself. So the concept of the race. As a team (we were a 3, Laura, Sean and myself) we would be chained together and we […]
