.. 10 minutes at each feed station will cost you an hour just like that?

1 hour and 20 minutes in fact - there are 8 food stops at the last count

I don't stop at the first 2

10 mins is quie a long time
I wouldnot stop that long at many! Don't think I stopped that long at the pasta- just ate it as I walked up te road!

How much of the Fellsman does the average mere mortal actually run? I'm working on my running, but I'm definitely going to be walking a fair amount of it, especially the uphill bits!

Did it in 2009, purposely walked every uphill and ran the rest, apart from the last checkpoint when my feet and ankles went missing in action, can't remember how long i stopped at every checkpoint but got my money's worth foodwise, did jog over the finish line though in just under 17 hours. Basically go how you feel and keep putting one foot in front of the other, get your training done and you'll be reet:thumbup:

I'll probably be walking some of the rougher flat bits too, like Fleet Moss
I think I'm going to use 'continual forward motion' as my mantra...

Looking at the fellsman, how good do you have to be at navigating? do you just need basic nav skills or good/excellent nav skills?
Would it be be too close to a BGR attempt in july? Thought it would be a good tester , nut never done out like it so not sure if it would take too much out of you
Thanks

I might return and do this again, I might even try and keep up with Nicky!!
