It poured down with rain and people got drenched to the skin. Knowing the forecast, many would have stayed in bed, but just under 200 intrepid runners and walkers, from cross country racers to dog walkers and weekend ramblers, still turned out for Feed The Children (UK) yesterday (Sunday 4th September) when they strode out to take part and raise money in the Samuel Hood Memorial
