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!

Oh and @geordiegirl - the harrier poles come with a fixed 'mud basket' which is supposed to clip the poles together but doesn't and is a bit annoying when packing away

For some unknown reason, I am trying out solo again, yes. Hoping to be better prepared this time as last time I tried solo my feet disintegrated 🙈 Part of that is more socks changes but also poles to alleviate some of the pressure from the couple of decent hills.

I managed 43.5 miles but I was much thinner, younger and less tired then so we shall see if I can train enough to get to 100k this time. Dragged by poles will count I hope...

What’s that? I don’t recall that with my catbells or noticed it with the carbons

I think I’ll return these and make a decision later.

Now to decide on the race vest I like it on but not sure how much I’d get in the snack pockets if I have water bottles in. I must fill it up with all the kit and see how it works then.

I've got Leki poles for trail running. They were expensive (Christmas present), but I've found they make a huge difference on hilly terrain whether going up (extra push) or down (balance) 🙂
