Well done Doug, great to hear you’re still in the game. Get Day 4 over and you’ve busted the back of it. ![]()
Wow Doug, brilliant. ![]()

Weather has been a real mixed bag sunshine showers.
Midges have been out but not too awful
Day 4 was miserable weather and although short was a very tough stage with a fair bit of rocky scramble and a long pathless section through bog, and many crossings of fast flowing rivers I lost my running glasses in one which made the final descent slow going. Spectacular waterfall though
Day 5 went a lot better a lot of it was very runnable and the weather was a lot better, sunshine and showers including a couple of brief hail storms.
Enjoying following you on Strava @doug. You’ve broken the back of it now, how’s the body holding up.
Nice work Doug. day 4 looked like a killer!
I’m holding together surprisingly well, one small blister and a couple of bumps and scrapes from falling over.
Long day tomorrow middle stretch looking very runnable
Yes day 4 was definitely my low point, weather horrendous, terrain was tough.
If anyone is bored it’s the Hardmoors 110/200 this weekend round glorious North Yorkshire ![]()
The Wolds and the Moors, stopping off at Poets house for fish & chips.
Can’t really comprehend covering 200 miles!
ouch!
Calling @Toyota_Crown ?
Can’t see him on the list.
Doug you’re doing amazing. Well done for completing day 6. The pictures on Insta are stunning, weather looks awful though. Keep going Doug!!![]()
Yep, what Anna said Doug, bring it home mate.
Looks brutal in the wet
Day 6 was the longest weather was a mixed bag, some prolonged heavy showers but also some sunshine. There’s a long stretch of fire road in the middle which helped eat up the miles, but did get a bit boring in the rain.
Day 7 was much better weather wise, but I woke up with a swollen right ankle and shin. Running was painful especially the technical descents and bog sections. Still made it round.
I am getting to that lighthouse tomorrow even if I have to hop
Great work @doug
Looks like it has been incredibly tough event
Well done Doug, nearly there ![]()
