"I've been through the desert on a bike with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain!" Villager Kirsty Loudon has just pedalled 300km in 4 days with 84 other women raising almost £3,000 for the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Trust. Well done Kirsty. As well as doing the run itself - no easy feat in temperatures up to 42 degrees, the challenge included raising the money and fitting the training into an already busy schedule SUNSET OVER THE DEAD SEA
