Kim Collison wins the mens/open race at the Montane Winter Spine Race 2025 As redemption stories go, there are few more dramatic than this. Getting to the finish line of the Spine Race can take year’s of preparation sacrifice and heartache. In this case 4 years of consistent effort resilience…

We’re a little over 2.5hrs into the full Montane Winter #SpineRace and, though it’s obviously still early to make predictions about the eventual podium, we can start to form an idea of who’s going to push for a place on it…

Well worth applying 👇 Really enjoyed doing my lecture (on the 8th AF in memory and popular culture) last year.

Often overshadowed by his successor (Reagan), Jimmy Carter in fact played a key role in rebuilding post-Vietnam transatlantic relations. His 1977 visit to NE England was indicative of his style, and was widely covered in the media. See here for some great footage: www.yfanefa.com/record/15844
