Looks like @doug is having a good morning, nearly 8 hours in and he’s at about 32 miles. I can confirm that it’s been a wet morning in South Wales with cloud over the hill tops so don’t think he’ll have had much to look at!

Doing a bit of early morning fishing in Clarach Brook (well that’s the little story my brain tells me. lol) Since I typed that he has moved on and nowhere near the brook.
Do they swap out the batteries at certain check points or does it last the whole event, the 66% made me think about that. (I can only imagine the Garmin body battery after 75 miles)

@doug closing in on the 100 mile mark, Brecon town centre in about 12 miles, think I’d be phoning ahead and booking a B&B for the night.
Finding it difficult to comprehend what Doug and the others are doing. Keep at it, we’re watching you.

Would be good to get Pen y Fan out of the way before dark and looks like he is bang on for that

I’ve got 7 mates on the start line of the Devon coast to coast today. Super excited for some dot watching but also very very jealous and feeling a bit sorry for myself as I was supposed to be there.
