Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Karie, we entered the Ochills two years ago and went the 'long way'. Finished in 6:55, so they introduced a sweeper and time limits at the checkpoints! ;-)

Was my first ultra in 2008 so it's special anyway but it is my favourite race for sure :-)

I sent my runner and his support runner out for a training session on the WHW this weekend ;) ;)

I toddled along the Water of Leith and sampled some of the sweets that I'm adding to the bag of sustenance goodies

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
What are other folk doing about the back-up requirements?
You must have a back-up vehicle (car, 4x4 if you have one (not required though!!)...
Who fancies a fantastic day out in the beautiful North West of Scotland on the legendary West Highland Way, supporting the lovely Sophster? Team of 2 would be best: a driver/sandwich maker and a runner/Muller rice opener. Eternal gratitude, fetchie fame and gold and jewels will be yours. (*)

It's Sat 7 August. Come on Fetchland.

* I may have lied about the gold and jewels
