There's a bit more footage of us in part 2 of the highlights, appox. 2Hrs 27 - 2Hrs 29. Tx to Chris Newton we got into the shot.

In fact about 3/4 of a mile more than Brighton. It presume it was having to snake around the walkers in the middle of the road thats caused this If I had done the Brighton distance, I work out I would have beaten the time I did last week by a few minutes.
