    Actually, probably an hour or so of kip on Saturday night. Fair enough really.

    I think she needs a good 8 hours sleep tonight to get back on schedule.

    Phenomenal mind you the weather over the next few days could well eat into her time

    Still 11h up on schedule and the most recent split times don't seem too far off what she had predicted.
    The next 24h or so will solidify whether the strong starting pace is leading to the endurance event of the decade/century, or a painful last few days. That's one of the thrills of this kind of undertaking!

    I do wonder if she's intentionally pushing hard now to bank time to use over the next 48hrs of bad weather. Monday's a stinker and Tuesday's not much better. With a big cushion she can take some extra time to rest and shelter without slipping behind schedule. Significant amount of snow on high ground forecasted for tomorrow.

    That would be the logical plan, it is going to be an interesting couple of days, can only wish her good fortune,

    Looks like she has just set off again after a few hours rest

    Incredible really isn't it. Looks like she took some time at Newlands earlier too. The footage from today shows the weather's been pretty brutal: either chucking it down lower down or snowing heavily higher up. She's been down on a fair few of her splits today, but not surprising really given the conditions.

    The Steve Ashworth videos - 4 so far - are really worth a watch.
