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!

About 66N here, just shy of Arctic Circle.

There is a Steve in Norway, but I think Bergen (latitude of Shetland) but I expect lots of fetchies have run further north, e.g. Tromso and maybe Svalvard. I've jogged in Tromso and a tiny bit in Ittoqqortoormiit which is a bit north of Tromso but south of Svalvard. And I mean "a tiny bit' because you cannot leave the village without a rifle and the stones to take on a bear. I had neither.

We have ozzie fetchies but I bet someone has overwintered in Antarctica.

Correct latitude-ish, @ITG 🇮🇸 but Halden in the SE, about 59. I have run in Tromsø too, but never made it to Svalbard (yet).

I've run in Longyearbyen at 78.22N, but that was on a trip, I didn't live there!

I swam in the sea at 80-something N too but not for very long :-o

About This Thread

Maintained by GordonG
Out of idle curiosity I was wondering (without giving away any personal info) who are the most northerly, easterly, southerly and westerly Fetchies. Perhaps three lists: in the UK, Europe and the World (with east and west being defined by a standard Euro-centric map).

I guess the limitation would be being based permanently (or long-term) in that location i.e. not there for a one-off race or a holiday.

Anyone want to volunteer themselves for one of these lists? :-)
