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!

I made it at Manchester as well today. Was on for 3.20 until about 19 miles but I couldn't hold on and finished in 3h 25m 16s (gun time minus start mat time). Really wet, pretty windy and very cold at the finish but Sub 3.30. what more could you ask for?

Well done puffinnuffin, great time :-) :-) :-) :-)

Thanks all. I think the horrible weather helped me yesterday, as I just wanted to get to the finish and get warm and dry ;-)

wow, well done Puffin, that's brilliant, especially in that weather. I bet you could have gone faster in better conditions.

So, the list of up and comings is dwindling... anybody got anything to add in - more spring / summer attempts (or Autumn even?!)

lets keep this thread alive both to support Flanker short term and also for future attempts and to encourage some newbies :-)

I'm planning the not planning approach, one day when everything is right it will happen, just not sure when or where :-)
