 A gaggle of Wallsend Harriers escaped from their coaches tonight to make the short trip to the invitational Blyth Links 10k. Coming so soon after the Club Championships, there were a few tired legs among the group, the rain threatened to fall, the night was closing in...so was it worth the trip? Was it ever!
