A town fitness group is now looking for a new base hot on the heels of coming top of the table at a 5k mud run.

Andali Fitness, run by ex-marine and anti-piracy officer Andrew Silvey, entered 26 members in the Furlong Fury Hereford on July 30 and came top, as well as getting an award for the biggest team entry.

The group also came top in the Spartan's South West sprint in Gloucestershire and are now preparing to enter a team into the Spartan's Windsor event at the end of September.

Having settled in Ludlow, Silvey, who spent 14 years in the marines before using his experience to train shipping crews around the world in anti-piracy measures, has become a well-known figure in the town, on a mission to bring an action-packed career’s worth of knowledge of health and fitness to the community.

Now he wants to build an obstacle training area in the Ludlow area.
