Forecast is cloudy and 14 deg at the minute, which should help.

I don’t really do charity, but I’ll give you a fiver if you go sub 4.

 

Fair play to you mate, it’s a hell of an effort.

I did a mile once at an athletics track in the same + harness and wanted to die.

Was that in your truck? ?

I think it wouldn't be possible to do it in full kit in under 4 so I''ll donate the fiver  as even at 6 hrs it would be twice as fast as I could get round.

 

My grand daughter says SJA attended 5 cardiac arrests, I expect she'll regale me with the gory details when we next meet.

 

Well done Andrew

5hrs 55mins.

Fair play, how are the feet ??

Recon you can squeeze your boot manufacturers for a sizable donation which can go on their advertising budget ?

They are totally fine, always had hardy feet. No blisters or chaffing nothing.
I had Hiax protector pro lights, Treehog all round, railway trousers. Petzl vertex helmet.
Would highly recommend all the gear

Well Done!

Any interesting stories to tell?  Any photos of the feet.  Has to be worth a fiver per blister!

Great effort Andy.

 

It's hard enough getting around the course in shorts and running shoes let alone all that clobber.

Not really to be fair, just plodded round.
Feet are fine never had a blister in my life
