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!

What is fit enough? So much of it is mental, I got round last year on a grand total of 2 23 mile off road runs as training and yes I ached like hell afterwards but I might have been the same even if I had done more hill work. This year I'd have been more confident knowing that I've done it before although the recces made me think how? If someone could have lent me a pair of knees for the last month I'd be grand but its looking increasingly unlikely that I'll even get to the start line :-(

Managed to get round Coniston marathon without too much trouble and the last 11 miles of the route the day after but since then the knees have rebelled big style. I'm not giving up all hope yet but it is looking unlikely

The challenge for the 50, flip, is to have a beer at Ambleside and still make last orders at Coniston ;-)

I usually like a pint round about 80 mile in Fen. Ambelside is 'almost there '
