LAST Sunday, under a clear blue and warm sky, 23 runners met to try out the Tavy 7 route. The training run, organised by Bere Alston Trekkers (Bats), was an opportunity to run the route in lieu of the event this weekend.  The runners included other Bats, Saturday ladies and

Monday Men, some of whom were running the distance for the first time.  Dotty Allan, Steve Watson and Alen Guy led the runners around the scenic seven mile route ensuring that everyone was looked after and the run was finished off with cake!
