All runnable
It is hard to imagine just how rough the ground they are crossing must be!
Does anyone know how Eoin did? There seems to be no mention of him anywhere.
Every time I look at this event it fills me with dread and foreboding. To even think of entering it takes balls.
Eoin came in with 4 others a few hours after the loop 2 cut off. He had no compass and a broken shoulder.
Rain made the route a mud bath.
There is a few short videos on Eoin's page that are worth watching.
