    Whoops, got his name wrong, he's Rod Hollands, not Hull. I'm a bit tired and addled myself!!

    Thought it was a decent effort for a bloke who's been dead for 15 years

    He used to walk with a friend, we called them Rod and Emu, hence the Freudian slip.

    After 200 miles, that's probably a fair description of how he feels.

    caught an interesting programme on the LDWA 100 last night on radio 4 at 11:30, Lives in a Landscape: The Longest Walk, focussing on the walkers not runners as you might guess, although you can't tell the difference with some of us, granted :-)

    Many 'walkers' are faster than many 'runners' in these challenges. I got beaten by 9 walkers. I'm coming round to thinking that I should always go on the walkers' start regardless of the checkpoint opening times. It seems that not running on the first day pays big dividends later.

    Moley, nice to meet you after such a long time. Sorry I didn't recognise you at first with that caveman look you're now sporting.

    Well done everyone who finished this weekend - I thought it was hard enough on the marshal's event when we had decent weather. Truly horrible weather this weekend! Anyone who even started deserves a medal! (or certifying....) And as for Rod - just brilliant!

    Good to see you again Nick, I don't come out of my Welsh cave that often, as you could see.
    Bit of a mudfest and my feet are a mess, otherwise feel fine now. But glad I wasn't going round for a second time, that does seem silly in those conditions!!

    I wish but I dare not. I hope the weather's good for you. It's a nice event is that.
