Ah, I haven't seen this morning, I had a couple of answers where I had a couple of options so had about 4 different possible numbers in the end, and none of them worked...but I saw someone on facebook said to make sure you were logged in on the tickets website before it'd accept a code, and once I'd done that one of the answers I had worked! So not sure which was right and which was wrong in the end, but hey, job done! A roundabout way of getting there, but perhaps a metaphor for the entire event ;)

It kind of is Joe! Bonkers really. We have about 7 on our team but realistically we’ll ‘run’ in 2 or 3 groups.

Now to decide where we are running ! believe we have 2 partners who will crew us which will make a huge difference.

I figure the route and logistics planning is a (big) part of the fun! Sounds like you have a good gang to team up with, and some on the ground crewing is no doubt a great thing too! I'll be heading south-east and seeing how close I can get to home!

Well done everyone who's got a place, if you're wanting to do the London non-canal route let me know and I can share any info we gleaned on the way! Main thing is that it's hiller than you think!

I haven't got an entry for next year as it would be an unpopular decision maritally at this stage but we got our entry through doing Fallout last year and also a lot of people sell their entries on the FB group in the run up to the event due to injury or whatever, so I maaay do it again, depending on how other runs pan out.

I actually had a dream last night about an unsupported ultra that was an England sized version of Who Squares Wins but with counties instead of squares and I was planning a pretty ambitious route from London to Devon and then up North... I don't think that's a real thing though...

lol EdGreig, we are kind of looking at a London route avoiding canals and as many busy A roads as possible. Any thoughts appreciated, I think I have loaded a route a friend of one of the participants did when she did it a few years ago.
