I’ve only been down that hill - once when I was about 15 on a family holiday in my dads car
It still sticks in my mind
That one I think

Fair play to No. 12, has just run back to where he left the course (was further up that path then must have realised he had gone wrong. Why is dot watching so addictive, instead of working ?

I’m not sure really, I’ve only done this part once in 2019. I remember coming out of Lynmouth, going up a very steep and quite busy road for a short stint, then bearing off left to the trail and the hill looked big but not crazy high. I think it was the zig zag traverse to climb it that seemed to go on forever.
I think at this point, my mind was on Bossington, so it’s easy to dismiss all the bastard bits in-between. Like the bloody pebbles coming out of Porlock.

Could they be aid stations and they leapfrog the runners once everyone has gone through?
GB and another (his mate ?), joint 4th, 25 mins away from CP2. Hopefully @FatPom or @tunster can get a photo of him

Why is dot watching so compelling? Keep looking in to see how he’s doing…amazing is the answer.
Also, @JD-Scarabtri , I think Tunster and FP are in Minehead at the moment. If my memory serves me correctly, they wanted to meet at the Hairy Dog around this time. Hopefully, we’ll get a picture later though

Ah, so they must get shuttled to their start (CP2 where GB is now sat down eating cake)

I think @gingerbongo may have been sandbagging in the build up - running an amazing race so far
