For 7 years Dave and Sally ran Bys Vyken events. In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast they share their adventure - how it started - where the name came from - some high points and low ones as well as those pointless hills.

And of course we do mention Arsenal. 

As well as talking about one of their new projects - the Highbury House Pet Food Bank based in Hayle. 

Here’s how you can donate to that via the facebook page : Highbury House Pet Food Bank or you can go to the Highbury House Pet Food Bank Amazon Wishlist
