To beat the current proper record he has until 7am, but he is trying to beat 10 days, so needs to finish by 5am

Come on Dan!
Do we know how fast he’s moving? I am reassured by the moving dot but can’t tell how well or not well he’s doing.

Almost at Thrumster, just south of Wick. Google maps has that as 22 miles - and says 7 hours at walking pace (I guess it uses 3mph). Dan is going faster than that at the moment and there's no way he'll stop if it's physically possible to continue.
Nothing even close to this, but when my legs went in the Lakeland 100, the last 23 miles took me 11 hours with no running possible at all. Exciting stuff, let's hope for a good finish for Dan!

I *think* he's moving at more than 4mph at the moment ( google mps and finger width guestimates)
Come on Dan!

Those sort of finger and thumb measurements are often the best! Speaking of which, mine are all crossed. Even spending a few miles on the road with Dan earlier this week has added a bit of connectedness that makes it all the more real
For future reference this evening -
Wick to Jo'G is 16.7 miles Reiss to Jo'G is 13.5 miles Keiss to Jo'G is 9.0 miles Freswick to Jo'G is 4.3 miles
That's including the extra half mile to Jo'G harbour - since that's where all the start/finish photos are taken (gotta love Street View for this sort of thing)
