Haha Ash and knowing Nicky (Spinks) well enough I can asure you that no offence will be taken. I was helping out on the finish on Saturday and I can tell you that we were all mightily relieved to see you back safe and well. We had identified your car still on the field and knew that you were having a bit of an epic day.
It was also great to see that all the safety systems in place to recognise that someone was unaccounted for worked as they should have done. We were also able to identify the last checkpoint that you had been recorded through. It was interesting that you were by no means last at Esk Hause so it had all gone wrong afterwards.
Nicky's account should be a useful reminder to all runners that carrying kit will not keep you safe. You do actually have to take some responsibility for your own wellbeing and put stuff on. It can be hard lesson to learn.
All the best
