What did the Romans do for Eccles...

An intrepid member of the Eccles Band is to run the length of Hadrian's Wall to help get his band to Cheltenham.

Wednesday, 19 June 2013

This coming weekend, one of Eccles Borough’s cornet players, Ross Malloy will certainly be wondering what the Romans did for us, by running the length of Hadrian’s Wall.

The Wall

Ross will be taking part in the expert category of ‘The Wall’ event, and is aiming to raise funds for Eccles trip to the National Finals in Cheltenham this September.

Ross will attempt to run the 69 mile wall in one continuous journey with the aim of completing the run in less than 24 hours — starting on Saturday morning at Carlisle Castle, and finishing at Baltic Quay in Newcastle.
