Just reached Steeple on schedule.
Thanks for positive news Simon. Keep on moving Mark!
Poacher turned game-keeper
Any news? I'm thinking he must be well into leg 5 by now, possibly getting onto the road. Keep it going Mark!!!Originally Posted by Derby Tup
I'll leave it to Mark to go through the gory details but...
He stopped at Beckhead while on schedule; he could barely walk as both balls (of his feet) were badly swollen.
A brave and up to that point succeeding attempt (if you get my drift).
Hi martyn, unfortunately mark had to bail at bottom of gable with sore feet, he was having bother with them and having trouble standing on them. Shame as he was going well and on schedule with perfect weather, sunny with a nice breeze and over cast. A good day was had by all though and a few lessons learnt with everyone down ok so a cracking day out I'm sure he'll give more detail in due course.

Sorry to hear this, it sounded like all was going really well.
Mark - courage mate, that was a bloody brave attempt and you'll be back for another go I'm sure.
Brave attempt indeed, Well Done Mark and all the best for the feet.
I assume the heat and sweat was a major contribution to that problem? bad luck Mark.
Wearing mudclaws all way round I think did it for him. And yes all was going to plan, had a bit of a low in wasdale came through it and was exactly where he should've been then the feet gave way , as said the heat would've contributed .
