I have just had a look at the results of this from last year to see that I only did 3 days! I have some great memories of running the whole 5 days.
would like to do it again just so i can prove to myself that i did do it all.

It would have been nice to have all the results up. But what the heck - I know I did all 5 days too and enjoyed the whole experience. And the event is more about the experience, comraderie, pushing yourself etc. Not taking anything away from your 5th - damn good going.

I know Nightjar. Sorry about my moan.
Yes it was a wonderful experience. One of the best I have ever had. Everything about the event was top class,
especially all the people i met.
We had wind and rain but mainly i can remember the sunshine and smiling faces.
To be able to take part in such good company was something i will never forget.

The guys who put on this event work non-stop to make sure everyone is looked after.
I said it at the time and I will say it again,

if you have the chance to take part in this event i would recommend it 100%

I have had a word with myself and you'll not hear a moan from me again. :)

Hotel booked for the day before. Cheap train tickets booked for journet down. Just need my foot to heal so I can get some runs in now, but I'm guessing I need to rest for at least 2 more weeks :( Oh well, may have to miss Shakespeare .... double :(
