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!

Just playing with plotting routes around Stafford and came up with this offering...

http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1750439

As far as I can tell it is all on good surfaces, small roads or roads with pavements. My first effort had a few horrible looking bits of main road. Needs another .2 miles or so. Grateful for any feedback.

I'm sure that would be fine NJ. Good work :-) I'm sure he'll be delighted with the hills too? 0.2 miles can be covered easily enough? Now we just need to find some peeps to run with Ben?

I wish him well -

I am too busy sadly in life to get involved

Ben is from my running club. Great guy and an amazing cause. The amount of effort he's put into the planning and organising is mind-boggling, almost more so than the actual running bit ;-). Great to see him pass the 100 mark and I'm sure he'll go all the way. I'm hoping to join him for one of the final marathons when he returns to the Bristol area.

Only spoke to him briefly at the Bedford half. Would liked to have done the second round with him but smashed myself too hard in the race. He seems like a really nice chap and very sprightly too!

100 marathons in 1 season is pretty good going :)

Well I have sent a message in via the 401 site regarding Stafford. If anyone can review the route linked above it would be appreciated (especially anyone local to the area). Would be embarrassing if Shugborough park turns out to be private.

He is amazing. He sold his house to pay for the challenge :-o That IS commitment.

Not seen anything communicated about Derby being a problem NJ mate?
