    Pavel is saying it is up to his waist. He is about 6ft 8in.

    I'm not sure snowshoes will be enough!
    The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on.

    Wow Eoin retires, I imagine the early pace has caught up with him.

    Shame and an amazing effort!

    Snow shoes are rubbish if the snow is "only" a foot or two deep - but up to the waist - wow - hopefully just drifts so can be managed mainly by walking around them.

    Race suspended for the moment due to worsening conditions.

    People have been having trouble getting across the Scottish border on the M74, never mind across the top of the Cheviots!
