Yes, I did it in 2013 and then it stopped a couple of years later. Lovely scenery and it wasn't too hot, too cold and was completely dry on the day. I then had to get myself back to Bourneville station to catch another train from Birmingham New Street, so not much of a break for me after finishing it. Just enough time to have a quick chat, a Coke and a couple bags of crisps to give me enough energy to get home via London! I had to run up a platform ramp to get to my train as they kept on changing the platform on me too!

I remember one year missing the coach to the start and did several train trips . One year messed up my hydration, got some water off fellas and had calf cramps after sitting down to get a stone out my shoe then struggled to get up! I still have mementos from those races

I only did it that one time and wanted to do it again but it stopped before I had another chance. They had a bumbag with JW Ultra printed on it...it's floating around the house somewhere.

Hmm the words “ bumbag, floating , around” creates an image 😂

Mr K did it the year I did it, neems and her OH too, his name escapes me. Sophster was there too...while greeting her, I nearly headed off onto a detour onto the other canal, which would have been disastrous!

Continued the streak over a short camping holiday. Only very short runs, too hot for much else! 818 days not out
