This Endris Nightjar Dec 2015 5:10pm, 13 Dec 2015 4,134 posts	0 This Endris Nightjar Next Friday Binks? I was thinking of going and doing that one.
This Endris Nightjar Dec 2015 7:10pm, 13 Dec 2015 4,135 posts	0 This Endris Nightjar 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.
maT.T. Dec 2015 7:15pm, 13 Dec 2015 8,399 posts	0 maT.T. 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?
Mick n Phil ( OBE ) Dec 2015 7:54pm, 13 Dec 2015 1,649 posts	0 Mick n Phil ( OBE ) we had a chat for a few minutes - he was a lovely warm down to earth guy I wish him well - I am too busy sadly in life to get involved
This Endris Nightjar Dec 2015 9:17pm, 13 Dec 2015 4,136 posts	0 This Endris Nightjar Just seen Derby on the 31st is not showing a route either. Will get in touch and see what plans they have.
Binks book, an excellent Xmas gift Dec 2015 8:56am, 14 Dec 2015 6,885 posts	0 Binks book, an excellent Xmas gift Yeah i fly to Barca on Friday. Hope there are more near me to do.
Spleen Dec 2015 9:56am, 14 Dec 2015 1,297 posts	0 Spleen 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.
Binks book, an excellent Xmas gift Dec 2015 10:08am, 14 Dec 2015 6,887 posts	0 Binks book, an excellent Xmas gift 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
This Endris Nightjar Dec 2015 1:06pm, 14 Dec 2015 4,137 posts	0 This Endris Nightjar 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.
maT.T. Dec 2015 5:15pm, 14 Dec 2015 8,400 posts	0 maT.T. He is amazing. He sold his house to pay for the challenge That IS commitment. Not seen anything communicated about Derby being a problem NJ mate?

Let's support Ben Smith who is running "...401 marathons in 401 consecutive days around 309 different locations of the UK. The aim is to raise £250,000 for two fantastic charities, ‘Stonewall’ and ‘Kidscape’. Both these charities work tirelessly to combat bullying in our schools and society."

This is a staggering commitment - no injuries or days off feeling poorly are allowed. He is a lovely chap, a joy to run with, and he'll run at anyone's pace. He has already inspired many people to run their first marathon with him.
