    Well done, Martyn, on getting so far in that bad weather, a good training run for when you go again in, hopefully, better weather.

    Hard luck Martyn, so many things need to go right on a BG. When I saw the weather I thought it would be tough. respect for giving it a go though. you will be sronger and wiser for the experience...

    I thought it would be impossible, fanstastic effort to get so far. All the success last weekend made it seem too easy, just goes to show how importent it is for things to go just right.

    Hope you can it organised to try again in the next few weeks.

    Well done for getting so far, Martyn. I was on the Welsh 1000s yesterday which got considerably changed by the RO due to weather and can imagine what is was like up there. You'll do it next time. Let me know when that is and whether you need any help.

    Tough luck Martyn, there's nothing you can do about the weather.

    This is spot on.

    I had a similar experience on my first attempt but learnt a lot from it and the confidence boost knowing it was just weather and bad choices/decisions on my part that stopped me, made my second attempt a more enjoyable and successful day.

    Stick at it mate, you'll do it next time.

    Any one got any news from the lad from the North East who set out at 11pm Friday. What ever time he got round in or not he deserves a medal.
