About 35 minutes, 2.5km, might just make it before dark.
If the trackers correct off course taking a short cut, with 108, lol.

Incredible job
Last 2.5km is all downhill and easy nav - just depends how trashed his legs are. Come on brother.
And sorry I couldn’t be there to meet you in person today.
Thought so the tracker seem pessimistic with eta, I substracted 5 minutes.
Top job btw.
When I got off the bus of shame at Minehead, you were about 2.5hrs away. If you’d been within the hour, I would have waited.
Try harder
They’ve missed the turn. It’s quite deceptive and you have to be on the lookout at a gate. We almost made rhe same mistake. But looks like they’ve corrected now
Ah yes looks like back on course, I cant get over how addictive dot watching is. Sat it the warm, I find myself trying to imagine the reality, the fatigue, the conditions, the weather, which of course is pretty much impossible to do.
I sent the link to my aunt who’s in her 60s. Pretty sheltered it’s fair to say. Not sporty in the slightest.
She messaged me to say how she’d been addicted to it for the last 2 days.
I love dot watching!
My sport hating sister was addicted and set her alarm for 2am to ‘take a peek’.
Absolutely class stuff @gingerbongo. Can’t believe you’re home and back in the land of mere mortals already. That’s got to feel like a pretty surreal transition. Rest up champ.
Starting get dark quick here. Guess there will be about 5 minutes more light down there a bit further South.
10-15 minutes to go?
Going to be pretty chilly with the wind for the tail enders.
Rarely have I felt less deserving of a Strava ‘Kudos’ than I did this evening for my 5k jog from @gingerbongo!
Less than 100m for @tunster into that nasty headwind.
Bravo my friend. Get that deserved medal!
Absolutely, he was strong throughout
Congratulations @tunster
Good man @tunster
There is free parking near the finish, I parked there. met Tunster yesterday afternoon for a meal. He walked there from the Premier Inn, which is about 2km from the finish.
I told him he’d regret that later
Well done, tunster
