I would've done but they don't allow dogs . Really lovely route

[Martin Hancock]

Hello Redeaston - yes I'm planning to be there tomorrow. It's just up the road for me so no excuse not to, plus as stolly says it's a great route. The weather forecast isn't looking brilliant but hopefully it won't be as character-building as it was for last year's Meander. Have a good run if I don't bump into you tomorrow or work out who you are.

Hi Martin. I guess it was you I was talking to just before the start when debating if we should wear jackets or not.

Weather made it tough in places but like you said it's a great route. Hopefully I can do it again some time with less rain so I can see the views better. 3:28 for me.

[Martin Hancock]

yes that was me - and it never occurred to me to ask whether it was you I'd swapped messages with - obviously too preoccupied with the jacket/no jacket issue..... you and the other two front runners were flying and that must have been as quick a time as there's been for a fair few years. I had one of those runs that always felt like a bit of a battle, but was surprised to end up getting round as fast as I ever have - 3.40/3.45ish. I reckon it's 5-10 mins faster on a decent day with less wind and dry underfoot. that's two pretty poor years in a row for weather now, so next year I'm sure is guaranteed sunshine - maybe see you next time round.

I'm all packed for the valleys 100 tomorrow. What better way to spend a bank holiday weekend than running 100 miles through old Welsh mining towns in the rain! Brilliant, anyone else coming?

Have fun Moldy. LDWA 100s are very special events

Rod Hull is walking the double, 200 miles and 30,000ft is a good stroll!
He's currently 70 miles into the first round (he has some helpers for company) in fairly crap conditions. He is a tough lad.

That was interesting. 14 hours of rain which cleared to drizzle and showers.

Rod completed his 200 miles within the time, a fantastic effort showing great mental and physical toughness on a challenging course in horrible conditions. He certainly did it the hard way.

200 miles is a f*** of a long way with an emu.
