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!

Yep, did it last year. There was 1 finisher out of 21 starters (though 4 others finished outside the cutoff and were allowed onto the results.) It really wasn't a numpty field, either.

Navigation was from the book The Severn Way, which was written last century (although an update is promised) which was, understandably, very out of date and caused some real head-scratching moments.

I thought that it would be quite a runnable path (I periodically train on the Worcestershire bits) but it was a waist-high wade through nettles in places. I bombed out on day 3 just past Ironbridge and now feel no desire to go back and do it again.

Thanks CH but will probably ignore it and go crashing in like an idiot anyway. Will have a read though :-)

So, have you entered? I'm busy training for this and was wandering through google trying to find anyone else registered.

No Xiggy I'm not. Family logistics made it impossible this year or next.

Got something to say?
