rhb Nov 2016 8:49pm, 19 Nov 2016 813 posts	0 rhb Been up since 6.30 Fri AM Whilst running in moonlight no headtorch saw a brilliant 'shooting star' to the NW abiut 3am. Canals are dull. Slow progress, Stoke was my finish as to run on anywhere else would've left me stranded unable to get home easily later on. 10/10 for event, the dot watch timelapse would be amazing if it is possible to construct.

In my opinion much tougher & more painful than the prettier, more scenic Lakeland 100. 145 miles using the same muscle group hurts I can tell you and when all you can see is canal disappearing into the distance its a mental challenge too. You will love it, I did, enjoy! ps I failed on my first attempt as many do but the dullness drew me back for more
