MikeR. Jun 2021 8:10pm, 21 Jun 2021 1,731 posts	0 MikeR. I did an "event" this weekend, cost nothing to enter. Price of fuel to drop me at the start, wife picked me up at the end. Food on the way, water from streams. It was one of the best runs I have ever done and probably the hardest. FB write up and photos if anyone is interested m.facebook.com

Gromit Jun 2021 12:36am, 22 Jun 2021 1,642 posts	0 Gromit Howdy guys 👋 thanks for all the kind words and especially Derby Tup for coming out to see me - did bring a year of joy i must confess 🤩 having had pretty much no sleep at all across three days running and 6pm start meaning I’d been up all day before starting was taking its toll and my feet are pretty mashed up too , took a 30 minute sleep and had a hot meal but decided we just wouldn’t be quick enough to justify setting off from Malian… I’ll just got home I’ll blog tomorrow 👍
