What made you take part in the race Charlie?

It was really good but very tiring!

Will you do the race again?
Yes ­ maybe the one at Cheddar which is in Somerset

Do you have any special advice for anyone else that might like to do this?
Practise before you take part because it is very tiring so you need to be
fit

You need to have the right equipment - a helmet and perhaps knee pads and
gloves.
