Inov8 dropping hints that Damian Hall is about to go for a FKT, but not saying what (anyone heard and can say what it is ? ) Lots of dot watching to come !!

Northern Exile Jul 2020 9:17pm, 8 Jul 2020 6,534 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile There's some really interesting challenges out there right now. I know one person who is contemplating doing all the Lakes 2500s, this is not quite in the same league as the 214 Wainwrights but it's a bit enough challenge and navigationally quite tricky. I think it works out at round 130 miles.

Badger Jul 2020 9:28pm, 8 Jul 2020 12,510 posts	Quote Pin Badger I was talking to one of Paul’s running club last year (owner of the place I stayed for the LT 55k), and he said they’d done a group run one evening supporting him; at least that was the idea, in practice he just dropped the lot of them.
