Story
In memory of Peter Milner ‘A Coy The Glosters Regiment’, British Antarctic Survey & Mountaineer who passed away at the Leckhampton Hospice last year. We would like to thanks the hospice for the incredible work which supports individuals, family’s and friends. The dedication and support by the staff and volunteers ensured Peter’s remaining days were passed with the upmost care and compassion.
I would like to help support the Leckhampton Hospice by raising money through The London Marathon, since the main event been cancelled, this Sunday, 4th October, I will be running the same distance for the virtual London Marathon along the Cotswold Way. I'll be starting in Chipping Campden and finishing in Cheltenham.
Peter was an previously a member of the The Gloucestershire Regiment so attempting to complete the marathon in military kit/boots carrying a rucksack with weight 20kg.
Thanks for any support.

We have a good group of motorsport marshals, who regularly go out on events to help out other Clubs, with general marshalling, radio crews, timing teams & event officials.
We also attend local shows and fate’s with a display of vehicles at local shows.
Torque Motors is a dedicated evening of classroom style navigational teach-in’s, quiz’s or table-top rallies and sometimes guest speakers. We also run a club fantasy formula 1 competition
