Walking with "ame" this year. Walked it last year and "hobbling" by end, partially due to similar hot weather and not drinking enough. Will look out for you Rosehip - would be nice to say hello to another Fetchie.

The LDWA stage an annual 100-mile event. This year was the Elephant, Bear and Bull (EBB) in the Midlands. I have a vague idea that the 2027 event, which I hear informally will be on the Jurassic Coast, might be the one for me. You have to have done a qualifying event. Here is the list of qualifiers for the 2024 Speyside 100. 2023 18th - 19th February : Roundhay 50 1st - 2nd April : Shropshire Way 80k 15th – 16th April : The Woldsman 2023 (50-mile walk) 29th - 30th April : 59th The Fellsman (61 miles) 29th April - 1st May : EBB LDWA Hundred Marshals 27th - 29th May - EBB LDWA Hundred 15th – 16th July : AFoot in Two Dales Challenge (50-mile walk) 12th – 13th August : Shotley Peninsula 50 (51.5-mile walk) 2nd - 3rd September : The Bullock Smithy Hike (56 miles) 23rd – 24th September : Sussex Stride 2023 (52-mile walk) 7th – 8th October : The Laich o’Moray 50 Mile Challenge 7th October : The 40th Round Rotherham (50 miles) 21st - 22nd October : Cornwall & Devon 2024 Hundred Qualifier (Potter round the Otter) I've always fancied the Bullock Smithy, almost entirely as a result of hearing Tony Audenshaw talking about it on Marathon Talk many years ago. Are any of the others notable for any reason? |

Rosehip
Ditto the Bullock Smithy for the same reason Also wondering about a qualifying 50, since annoyingly the Lakeland 50 meets the usual criteria but doesn’t count |
