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!

Notes & Comments

Talibont Trail

Fell, mud, checkpoints in the clouds, ascents/decents not runnable. Spent lots of time looking at maps and changing course. One checkpoint seemed to have vanished - tent blew away so apparently Mountaion Rescue abandoned it (it was at the highest trig point on the route). No Garmin to navigate as it completely packed in a few days ago. New Garmin arrived today a few hours after I left for the race:( My map reading skills are rubbish so hooked up with two others Chris/Mike who are better at navigation. Came equal second even with this incredibly slow time mostly due to 80% walking it. At least the other two forced me to slow down, so a good dress rehersal for Ultra Brecon 40. Reckon there was at least 10 miles left in me.

A great one to do again but with GPS and try and knock an hour off.
