Any other crazies out there?

Well done, takes dedication to put the training in and I suspect the terrain made it harder than a road course.

Excellent achievement, no one can take that away from you.

Thanks. Definitely a bit harder and your right about the second bit too. I now have the T shirt.

Very well done. 7 hours 37 mins is a respectable time .
I did the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge a few years ago (24 miles ish), so I know what something like this is like. I used the same stratergy (run all the down hils), and it worked well for me too.

Much respect

Fantastic achievement and sounds like a very good time given the terrain. I always say that most people don't have any idea of what they are capable of until they try. Our ancestors probably did these kind of things as the norm

I don't run but I have completed 4 ultra marathons in the last 4 years - the longest being 62 miles (Race to the Stones - Avebury) and around 4,000 feet of height gain which I did non stop in just under 20 hrs (apart from a 40 minute pint and curry at halfway!). My feet were an absolute mess at the end but there was a brilliant sense of satisfaction at finishing. Walking across country at night is magical.

In April/ May this year I walked the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across the Pyrenees and along the top of Spain - 500 miles, which took me 31 days and last week I cycled 428 miles just for the hell of it so you are not the only crazy Still struggle to keep my weight below 15 stones

Wow,. that is quite some walk, the cycling bit sounds peasy, as an ex cyclist, I was young then though.

My efforts were Taylored into perspective this morning. One of my work coleagues, did the Snowdon marathon triathlon, the same day. He won it. Young Dean Crow, you are forever respected by his particular, old git. He probably weighs less than 10 stone, might have to ask him. Does this mean I am hooked on this stuff?

Well done buzylar


Living in the flatlands of Holland I do miss the hills of England sometimes.

Keep up fella! The Lotus idea was mothballed months ago. Was running too hot.
Moved onto a 928S but that idea also junked for the time being.

There are a few options I'm considering however....

I thought with all that money from our German cousins, you were building up a stable.

Good to know you are still a skint Scouse scally. Keep working on it.
