I was interested to trial the Solomon Pulsar Trail when they arrived, although when I saw they were mainly white in colour, I did wonder how this would fare as an off roader.

What they say “Running in the mountains demands self- sufficiency, and …
They say never judge a book by its cover and this is that book! The title is a bit of a misnomer and I implore you to read it to the very end. It’s a book of two stories; with the finishing accomplishment somewhat eclipsing the majority of the book. Jamie is a serial adventure travel …
