I hope people don't mind me introducing my Uncle, David Higgins, to you all. Dave is currently somewhere on the west coast of Scotland, some 1900miles into his 6000 mile walk around Britain's coastline.
Despite being a walk not a run, and the coast being somewhat limited in fells, I thought this may be of interest to my fell running friends... After all, this is certainly a long distance challenge!
If anyone wants to track his progress, meet him on route or just wish him well - he is regularly posting updates on his website:

Dave is completing most of this challenge solo, backpacking and sleeping in his tent. He is still going strong and so far has raised over £2,500 for a very worthy cause. As I'm sure many of us who have battled our way through our own personal challenges will appreciate; any offers of company or simple words of encouragement will certainly help him along the way, particularly as the weather starts to turn and the long nights draw in...
Thanks for reading, see you on the hills.
Andrew Higgins
