Who are the Topsham Toe in the Water runners?

Meet the runners! Here are Paul Wiiliams and Patrick Wallis the super keen ultra marathon runners with a penchant for mountains. They have competed in montain races all over the world and are frequently in the prizes. They got to hear about the Topsham team from a friend of Patricks - Rachel who has just starting research work in Exeter with Kate’s husband Andrew.

Rapid edit of details of their sailing experience suggested by crew as Paul has a "sailing family in Scotland"!. Patrick and Paul have sailed all their lives. This is good as 3 marathons up mountains in 4 days is hard enough without having to recover from sea sickness as well. If there are any problems Kate can come to their rescue as she has a wide range of sea sickness treatment including scopolamine patches that gave her hallucinogenic highs in the force 9 gale on the last 3 peaks race!
