2018 - In case anyone is wondering what happened to Chris
Finill, he was tripped after 3.5 miles, fell badly, broke his humerus (upper
arm bone and not at all funny) in two places, stopped for 5 minutes for St
John’s Ambulance people to strap him up and feed him pain killers and still
finished under 4 hours! Then in hospital until 11 p,m that night.
