Just do it, it’s brilliant!
A common belief in the WildFox Office is that if you haven’t done an event in real time then you aren’t really able to understand what the participants go through ... so with this in mind WildFox Fiona set out last weekend to conquer Maggie’s Monster Bike and Hike. The goal was to complete the 72 mile route and still be in the pub for last orders. So, how did she fare?
