The soup was okay too at Park Rash, although I froze my nuts off eating it, and at Yarnbury I abstained any food, keen to just get to the proper nosh at the end. Finished off at Threshfield with a large portion of chilli and rice followed by a bowl of fruit cocktail. Yum yum.... burp!

17 hours and 45 minutes of stuffing my face between bouts of runny bits :D

Not sure where they finished, I've not seen any results, and I left fairly quickly to drive home before deciding I was being stupid so I had a few hours in a lay by

sorry to hear that.....you should always carry some imodium of these long distance runs;)

Thanks T & C, yes I did manage to get round in just over 19 and a half hours. That was really tough both mentally and physically and my poor feet are battered. Only had one bad patch near Cray (44 miles) where I thought I just can't go on. The thought of Buckden Pike and Great Whernside was too much but I had a cuppa and something to eat and soon felt fine. The weather conditions were near perfect apart from that north easterly wind blowing in our faces for most of the day, the moors were bone dry. Can't begin to imagine what it would be like in bad conditions. I've done it now so it's ticked off, no more for me thank you!

Well done to everyone who got round, it's a massive achievement. And a big thank you to all the marshals who were literally out for hours if not days, they were all very friendly.

That was an interesting 18 hours 33 minutes! Went off too quickly and felt absolutely terrible for the 15 miles between Gragareth and Stonehouse... was seriously, seriously thinking of jacking it in as I just couldn't conceive of how I was going to make it round. Nothing but stupid pride and fear of telling people I'd bailed got me out of Stonehouse, then miraculously I felt much better. The rest of it was great. Made it over Fleet Moss in then light and was with a great group from Cray... steady away and we took over several teams bewteen Park Rash and the finish. Legs are pretty stiff and there's a tasty blister on my big toe, but nothing a beer and an afternoon watching rugby on the TV can't fix!

As someone said above, massive thanks to all the volunteers. Awesome stuff.
