    Hi Raj, Thanks for the reply. I think I have a navigator for each leg but as they say, 2 heads are better than 1 and if you fancy a run out, then you are more than welcome! Whatever leg you fancy too! Can you DM me your email address as I'll be sending an email to the lads involved in the next couple of days.
    Thanks again for the offer. Much appreciated!!

    Paul

    A very big thank you to all those who helped me with the round over the last couple of days. A nicer, more friendly bunch of people I could not hope to meet. And as a "blow in" coming over to the lakes to attempt this I was amazed by how selfless people were with their time. Of course I should have known this would be the way with the running community. Thanks to road support Gaynor Prior (and husband David for providing updates), Tracy Dean and Laura Ruxton and to a Brilliant set of Nav men, Bruce Duncan, Stuart Air, John Whilock, Gary Thorpe, Raj Mahapatra, Bill Williamson, Alan Lucker, and to Barry Murray, my friend from home who ran the last 2 legs with me, and all those who offers support out in the hills along the way and at Moot hall after the run
    The route was every bit as tough as I'd imagined it would be and and I go away from the day with great memories that are unlikely to fade for years to come

    Thank you all again,

    Paul

    Well done Paul. A very good time - from the "Top Ten Fastest BGR" thread from last year and allowing for Mark Palmer's fantastic 14:59 round also last year it looks like you are now #15 in the sub-18hr list! :w00t:

    PS. The link to your blog doesn't work - sort it out later!

    Without me you'd be one place nearer the back
