Matt & Aaron are back with EP #14 of High FriXion Max TraXion! This show is action packed as they chat to Tony & Rob who have taken on Glow Worm Tunnel Trail Marathon. We go into a little history talk about the event and wonder why Mike & Mal Leyland never featured the Glow Worms on their show. We ask are the worms bugs or insects and where did they come from?
