    Used to be able to tab 10 miles in 2 hours with 50lb of weight, but that was a long time ago That's only 12 min/miles with less than half the weight, maybe in another life CL

    It was on Countryfile on Sunday so peeps may be able to watch again. A previous winner had carried logs up Ben Nevis and something else up Snowdon and a tombstone on Mexico. Looks like quite a technical event , Ben 'The Action Man' Fogle was knackered
