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!

It's nothing to do with Vindaloo!

the big one is 42 miles with a 24 hr cut-off for finishing. A real mountain ultra with some big climbs and great mountain trail running.

I think I've got a link to a report on it somewhere. Will dig it out.

I live near Oban

All this talk of ultras reminds me I have the lingering idea of doing the West Highland Way race at some point, or at least the Devil O' The Highlands 43 mile part of it.

Yeah, thought WHW would be a good one for my 40th - gives me a good 8.5 years to train!

Would definitely be up for lift sharing etc to races in remoter parts (i.e. outside Glasgow!) - there are only so many races through industrial estates a girl can cope with :-)

I blame you flanker :)

If I'm to do the WHW race before I'm 40, I only have 3 more years :( Think I'd do the Do'tH first then see if I survived. Failure to survive would rule out the WHW.
